Again the burden of losing rest
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

    General Comment:i am just upset because they wasted 10 pages on their terrible views on this wonderful band. we arent here to argue about the band, the directions are to type in what the song means to you, hence the name of the site. So please if you are going to ridicule Valo and this band, go elsewhere

    My Opinion:It seems that some people like to get their adrenaline from spending way too much time online insulting other peoples music taste. Yet they have the nerve to be upset when someone disagrees with their views. I love HIM so much. Yet, that character "quiffporn", decided to push everyones buttons. And he had the nerve to talk back when someone else disagreed with his opinions. he even insulted his sisters taste in music. All those 14 yr old grls? did that include his sister as well? how respectable is that? I dont give a damn if he likes it or hate it, I like it and thats all that matters. Im just replying because everyones buttons got pushed because they let their buttons get pushed. Seriosly. its just an opinion. and everyone is egging quiffporn on. he loves to respond, im sure its because he's bored. He has nothing betterto do than to be online responing negativly and twisting others words around so he gets the right of way. Why else would he reply so constantly to EVERY comment posted? He wanted attention. He's definately insecure. im sure he's probably stopped posting his asinine comments. Its been years. and even if he has not, it doesnt matter because everyone is entitled to their opinion. And though I disagree with his opinion, It doesnt mean Im gonna cut on him like some of the other people here did. im not trying to make myself to be a know it all, Im really not. I just think no one should respond to "quiffporns" comments. thats the only way to really show him that NO ONE ON THIS POST CARES IF HE DISLIKES_HIM. As long as we all like HIM in the end ♥

    General Comment:yall do realize you sound like a bunch of morons... im a 17 year old dude who has enough friends and i like this band. Dcshoecousa its called love metal. quiffporn you do need to grow up, if you dont like something why would you WILLINGLY go and look at it unless you are just trying to start shit. and coming on here and bashing him is like poking a sleeping bear with a stick, all your gonna do is piss everyone off. i listen to more bands then you do... just to name a few

    General Comment:I love this song, it's a great song to be reconged with. Talking about how much the guy is in love with the girl, saying if she actually was to die of a broken heart, just her smile can ressurect him. Oh wow...

    General Comment:Oh well; so now, after 4 years, could we please finally talk about the lyrics? For I must admit that I'm not quite sure what the song is actually about...

    General Comment:lol
    Ok, so does anybody know what the paradox in the song means? "To die is to know that you're alive."

    General Comment:quiffporn i can see exacly where you are coming from
    but hey people like thier music
    mexican cholo gangster want to bes around her listen to rap, just like emos listen to HIM
    HIM is my favorite band, but i am not emo/goth.
    and yes much of thier fame is from ville who is "sexy" so all the girls like him, so they buy albums. i am thier for the music and i am not gay, just like how he can write something and talk about a break up as a example but not say he broke up. he uses bigger more fantasy words. i am probly rambleing but yea :D

    General Comment:i find it hilarious that z0MbiE has to state that he is a straight male.. if you question your sexuality simply because you like a band like him, then you probably are gay!
