VV (Ville Valo) - Salute the Sanguine lyrics
[VV Ville Valo - Salute the Sanguine lyrics]
Through this cathedral of cards
Remind me how to decrypt the cipher
Written in the blood of my heart (My heart)
Salute the sanguine
Red in tooth and claw, it 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 (No more)
Salute the sanguine
Red in tooth and claw, it 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 bleeds in vain
I salute the sanguine
(I salute the sanguine)
I salute the sanguine
(I salute the sanguine) hear me scream
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
Heartbeats, a Morse of doom
Spectral "I love yous" we bloom in gloom
Morning's scarlet hues
All tomorrows entombed
Desire's cruelest tunes we bloom in gloom
