Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the sun shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon painting you
With its glow so vulnerable and pale

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame

The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question: why?

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

The funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The Funeral of Hearts

I chose this HIM’s song, because I like this very much and there are interesting words in this song. I also like many of HIM’s songs because they have a beautiful melody and vibe that I like. I like to think about the stories behind the songs and there are often many ways to interpret them in HIM’s songs.

The Funeral of Hearts is song of love. I think several love songs are sad like this one. Perhaps because many people sometimes have problems in their love life and want support for love songs. It is also logical that then the songwriters make songs that people care about. Already the name of the song sounds sad because the word “funeral” becomes a sad feeling for most.

My favorite verse from this song is “A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind”. It’s a really interesting verse in my opinion. Often people may think that God is deaf and blind because they pray only when they are in need. I was also thinking about the verse “When angels cry blood”. I think is love so evil that angels cannot look without weeping and yet blood. And what would the world be like if no one loved each other?

I really like the singer’s way of interpreting this song. I also think the music video is great and I especially like the HIM’s logo engraved on the wood at the end of the song. I learned many new words from this song and many of the sentences are shaped to sound nice.
