VV (Ville Valo) - Salute The Sanguine

Death, come blow me a kiss
through this cathedral of causa.
Remind me how to decrypt the cipher
written in the blood in my heart.

Salute the sanguine
Red in tooth and claw, has to feel
Salute the sanguine
Ferociously beautiful, you are

Love, your lips move, but I can't hear you sing in my citadel of scars.
The ghost of you shimmers within
revealing what is lost.

Salute the sanguine
Red in tooth and claw, has to feel
Salute the sanguine
Ferociously beautiful, you are

Here come the tears
along with terms of endearment
distorted by fear.
So sincere it hurts!

Salute the sanguine, sanguine.
I'm screaming your name.
Salute the sanguine, sanguine.
No heart beats in vain.

I salute the sanguine (I salute the sanguine).
I salute the sanguine (I salute the sanguine).
Hear me screaming your name again and again.
Come, salute the sanguine.
(Come, salute the sanguine.)
Come, salute the sanguine.
(Come, salute the sanguine.)

All hearts kneel before your grace.

Dreams in black and blue.
Heart beats in pulsar.
Spectral "I love you".
We're moving on.
In scarlet hue
all tomorrows entombed.
Days as cold as a dream.
We're moving on.
