Lyrics

Dark Sekret Love
For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts were filled with fear
for this Dark Secret Love

Oh let the world turn its back
and please let me come closer
though the hearts filled with fear
for this love

Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
for it is our
Dark Secret Love

"Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm,
for love is strong as death
jealousy is cruel as the grave.
The coals thereof
are coals of fire,
which hath a most vehement flame."

I love you - I love you
I love you - I love you
I love you - I love you

For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts touched with joy

Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
for it is our
Dark Secret Love

Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
for it is our
Dark Secret Love



Stigmata Diaboli
I can't see your sad face in your pitiful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ and I want you
This world's not for us and you know it as well as I do

oh

I can't see through your eyes, spill your tears onto me
I will lift the burden from your shoulder
So you just have to believe
I'm your Christ and I want you
This world's not for us and you know it as well as I do

Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Just as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
So

I'm your Christ and I want you
This world's not for us and you know it as well as I do
I'm your Christ and I want you, oh
This world's not for us and you know it as well as I do

Oh, so you've come for more
and you say you want it all
and I cut myself for your love
I'm killing myself but you want more

I'm your Christ and you want more


The Heartless
Your pain ain't love
Can't you see he's the heartless
Your pain is not love
He's taking it way too far
Don't you know it is wrong
You're the one for me lady
You are the one
If you'd only see in my heart
You'd know all is not lost

Your time is running out
And you still haven't made up your mind
Can't you see he's the heartless
And you're one of a kind

He's the heartless...

You can't see he's the heartless
Your pain won't ever be love
It doesn't matter how hard you try
To you all is lost

He's the heartless...


Wicked Game
The world was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
And I'd dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd dreamed that I'd need somebody like you, no

No I wanna fall in love
this world is only gonna break your heart
And i wanna fall in love
this world is only gonna break your heart
..with you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you

And i wanna fall in love
this world is only gonna break your heart
And i wanna fall in love
this world is only gonna break your heart
..with you

The world was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And i never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you, no

And I wanna fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
But i don't wanna fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
..with you

Nobody loves no one
