Ville Valo
Love’s Requiem
[Intro]
Confusion, confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion, confusion
Confusion...

[Verse 1]
Confusion writhes around our hearts
Impatiently
It drains the faith that lights the dark
And sets us free
From the chains of our war
And the pain we once called "love"

[Verse 2]
The poison of doubt enslaves our minds
And we bleed
We abandon the trust that kept us blind
And disappear
Under the crimson wings of hate
Where the lost are safe until they love again

[Chorus]
The heart of darkness is hope
Of finding you there
And that hope will be our
Love's requiem
[Verse 3]
We pray to the serpent of delight
Desperately
The questions are answered, and we try
Not to weep
Until we are sure
We're suffering for love

[Verse 4]
In the dungeon of our dreams
We're so weak
The promise made to be broken
Still haunts our sleep
And we won't open our eyes
Afraid we would die for love again

[Chorus]
The heart of darkness is hope
Of finding you there
And that hope will be our
Love's requiem

[Bridge 1]
The salvation we seek
Will be waiting us there
In the heart of darkness
Lonely and scared
With a promise of death
For our love, for our love
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 2]
And now that we're free
From the chains of our dear love
I am lost, so lost

[Chorus 1]
The heart of darkness is hope
Of finding you there
And that hope will be our
Love's requiem

[Chorus 2]
Take me into your arms
And sing me your beautiful song
Hold me until we're one
And sing me your beautiful song

[Chorus 3]
The heart of darkness is hope
(Take me into your arms)
Of finding you there
(And sing me your beautiful song)
And that hope will be our
Love's requiem
(Hold me until we're one
And sing me your beautiful song)
[Chorus 4]
(The heart of darkness is hope)
Take me into your arms
(Of finding you there)
And sing me your beautiful song
(And that hope will be our
Love's requiem)
Hold me until we're one
And sing me your beautiful song
