Ville Valo
The Funeral of Hearts
[Chorus]
Love's the funeral of hearts
An ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

[Verse 1]
She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With its glow so vulnerable and pale

[Chorus]
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
[Verse 2]
She was the wind carrying in
All the troubles and fears
You've, for years, tried to forget
He was the fire
Restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
The funeral of hearts

[Bridge]
The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question: why?

[Chorus]
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
[Chorus/Outro]
The funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
