  • Farewell heartless world
    I'll send you a postcard burnt
    And the flames you tried so hard to extinguish with fear of failing
    I'll write down everything I have learned
    And edit it down to a single word
    Love, for you I'm waiting, anticipating

    Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
    Lazarus at Frankenstein’s
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer
    A little we die, above the lesser light
    For you I'm open wide
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer

    Top hats off to the return
    Of the beat to lick a wound to
    Cursed for some and blessed for a few
    It doesn’t have to make any sense at all
    Come hither and we'll fall
    In love, for love
    I'm crawling out of patience baby

    Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
    Lazarus at Frankenstein’s
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer
    A little we die, above the lesser light
    For you I'm open wide
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer

    Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
    Heartkiller
    Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

    Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
    Lazarus at Frankenstein’s
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer
    A little we die, above the lesser light
    For you I'm open wide
    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer Writer/s: Ville Hermanni Valo
