Lyrics Salute the Sanguine - Ville Valo

Salute the Sanguine

Death, come blow me a kiss
Through this cathedral of cards
Remind me how to decrypt the cipher
Written in the blood of 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
