Buried Alive Lyrics

Again the burden of losing rest
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been Buried Alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

Lead singer Ville Valo recalled the inspiration for this song to Kerrang! "I was trying to break away from what we had been doing on our previous album, which was really poppy," he said. "I was heavily into (Norwegian hardcore punk band) Turbonegro at the time and, since being an idiotic post-teenager was my main goal in life, I remembered that rock 'n' roll is about making rash decisions with no sense and not thinking about tomorrow, so that's how I wrote the riff. I just wanted to write the most idiotic riff that I could – and I got very close!"

The music video was directed by Valo's friend, Jackass crew member Bam Margera. The clip features actress and singer Juliette Lewis. Valo recalled to Kerrang! "We managed to rent this location in downtown LA, a grand old theater, and it was unlike anything we have in Scandinavia, so we were all just happily wandering about looking at all the ornamental details."

"It's always fun working with Bam as well," Valo added, "he's professional but not uptight, so the whole thing was really laid back with a lot of laughing."

Margera has also directed three other music videos for HIM, those being "The Sacrament", "Solitary Man" and "And Love Said No."
