Hieronder volgen de teksten van HIM die mij het meest raken en me er bovenop trekken wanneer ik het niet meer zie zitten. De eerste is: The Path, deze komt van de cd Love Metal.
The Path:
There is no turning back from this unending path of mine Serpent turning back it stands before my eyes To hell and back it will lead me once more It is all I have as I stumble in and out of grace
I walk through the gardens of dying lights And cross over rivers deep and dark as the night Searching for reasons why time passes by
With every step I take the less I know myself And every vow I break on my way towards your heart Countless times I have prayed for forgiveness But God just laughed at my face And this path remains Leading me into solitude zones
I seek through the darkness my way back home The journey seems endless but I will carry on The shadows will rise and day will fall And a night turns in dawn
And after the tears this smile all angels grieve with an envious song When looking into strangers eyes And I know where I belong
I walk through the gardens of dying lights And cross over rivers deep and dark as the night Searching for reasons why time passes by
I seek through the darkness my way back home The journey seems endless but I will carry on The shadows will rise and day will fall And a night turns in dawn
De tweede is Love's Requiem, Ook een geweldige tekst van de cd Love Metal...
Love's Requiem
Confusion writhes around our hearts impatiently It drains the faith that lights the dark and sets us free From the chains of our war and the pain we once called love The poison of doubt enslaves our minds and we bleed We abandon the trust that kept us blind and disappear Under the crimson wings of hate where the lost are safe Until they love again The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our loves requiem We pray to the serpent of delight desperately The questions are answered and we try not to weep Until we are sure we're suffering for love In the dungeon of our dreams we're so weak The promise made to be broken still haunts our sleep We won't open our eyes afraid we would die for love again
The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our love's requiem The salvation we seek will be waiting us there In the heart of darkness lonely and scared With a promise of death for our love And now that we are free from the chains of our dark love I am lost And now that we are free from the chains of our dark love I am lost The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our loves requiem Take me into your arms and sing me your beautiful song Hold me until we are one and sing me your beautiful song The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our loves requiem Take me into your arms and sing me your beautiful song Hold me until we are one and sing me your beautiful song...
