Love Entombed
The Loveless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The madness runs me through
So cold at night
Days will surely come
When you'll be gone
Death is the only way
To be with you
Death is the only way
To make you feel

Love entombed - love's so dead in you
Pain in bloom - love's so lost in you
Love entombed - love's so dead in you
Pain in bloom - love's so lost in you

These dreams they are so lost
Sealed is all hope
Your tears are all gone
The ones that wept for me
Death is the only way
To be with you
Death is the only way
To make you feel

Love entombed - love's so dead in you
Pain in bloom - love's so lost in you




Love entombed - love's so dead in you
Pain in bloom - love's so lost in you

Time passes by inevitably


When you'll be gone
When you are no longer with me
