  • I carry 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 hid 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 blessed me with, spiritual murder
    And fed the gods of war insatiable
    Your home is where the dark is, I should have told her
    And 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
    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

    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 deserted soul is gone
    A cold heart is a dead heart
    And it feels like I've been buried alive by love Writer/s: Ville Hermanni Valo
