Bm                     F#m
It's poetry carved in flesh
                       Bm
This beautiful hell of ours
                           F#m
To the deadliest sin we confess
F#m
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
 D      A             E       F#m
We are safe where disfigured saints
     D          A            E
Cry out their prophecies of doom

Chorus:
F#m
My heart's a graveyard, baby
Bm                  C#m
And to evil we make love
        D                  E
On our passion's killing floor
F#m
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
Bm                  C#m
And of lust we are reborn
        D                  E
On our passion's killing floor

At the first kiss, the seeds
Of hatred are sown
And back into darkness, we flee
To tear our hearts out

We are safe where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb

Chorus

Cm
(Pulses unchecked
Everyone already is dead
All we know has been crucifered)

Chorus

(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
Oh, my heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil, we make love
On our passion's killing floor

Forevermore... that's right
