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

[play twice]

 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

 A deserted soul is gone

A cold heart is a dead heart

 And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

Chorus

oh, your smile (x7)

been buried alive by love (x8)
