Lyrics Dead to Me - Anette Olzon, Jani Liimatainen, The Dark Element

Dead to Me

I used to love you once long ago
I opened my door and gave you a home
You were my cairn and you were my creed
My everything or at least so I thought
Something died on the day that you left me
Melodies, memories and my dreams
Something left, something came, something darker
Someone let the cold inside
You ate my bread and drank from my well
I dressed you in silk, sold all I could sell
So I could keep your heart satisfied
But every time you just asked me for more
Deeper down to the hole where you made me
To the vortex of pain that will stain me
I won’t drown, I won’t lie, I won’t die here
I will fight, I will rise again
I won’t write you an ode nor confession
Not a song but a war declaration
Story told from the dawn of creation
Symphony with a grim orchestration
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you’re hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You’re no one
Mean nothing
You’re worthless
Dead to me
Years they have passed and I’m over you
I’ve licked all my wounds and forged me anew
I wish I could say I wish you the best, it isn’t true
I won’t forgive, won’t forget
I won’t write you an ode nor confession
Not a song but a war declaration
Story told from the dawn of creation
Symphony with a grim orchestration
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you’re hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You’re no one
Mean nothing
You’re worthless
Dead to me
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you’re hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You’re no one
Mean nothing
You’re worthless
Dead to me
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you’re hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You’re no one
Mean nothing
You’re worthless
Dead to me
