-intro-
Again the burden of losing rests 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
-Chorus-
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 (darlin')
If I should die before I wake
There ain't no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
And fed the gods of war insatiable
Your home is where the dark is
I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
But 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
-chorus-
-solo-

Oh, 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
(quietly)
A deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
(stop)
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
-chorus-
oh, your smile (x7)
been buried alive by love (x8)
