INTO THE GRAVE SO COLD

I have crawled across the bodies
That you left behind in your wake

how did i ever survive?

I can smell the doom upon me
The cloying fragrance of the damned

the blood will not wash away

I have killed for you
In the name of love
I have died for you
Suffer for a love

That turned it�s back on me
I�m searching for one last scrap
If there�s something yet to be
The devil wants what�s left of me

Into a grave so cold
Cast me from your heart and hearth
Into a grave so cold
Where memories die in the dirt
I wait for the end
Within a grave so cold

I have read every last page
Of your diary that�s empty

how did i remain nameless?

Your kiss left scars upon my lips
Even as I burn your diary

your face promises to haunt

I have killed for you
In the name of love
I have died for you
Suffer for a love

That turned it�s back on me
I�m searching for one last scrap
If there�s something yet to be
The devil wants what�s left of me

Into a grave so cold
Cast me from your heart and hearth
Into a grave so cold
Where memories die in the dirt
I wait for the end
Within a grave so cold

The shadows gather around
My endless book of sorrow
Inked in blood, bound in graveyards
At the end of tomorrow�s
Mournful tune of lullabies
The heart�s flutter for the soul
Forsaken for alibis
Buried in this grave so cold

YOUR FACE PROMISES TO HAUNT ME

I have killed for you
In the name of love
I have died for you
Suffer for a love

That turned it�s back on me
I�m searching for one last scrap
If there�s something yet to be
The devil wants what�s left of me

Into a grave so cold
Cast me from your heart and hearth
Into a grave so cold
Where memories die in the dirt
I wait for the end
Within a grave so cold
