"Tears On Tape" lyrics - HIM

Church bells toll
Thunder roars around me
I've been warned to prepare myself
For the fall
I'm armed to the teeth with tender pain
Of all yesterdays

[Chorus:]
Tears on tape, I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape, she surrenders, needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls, settling the score
With love for once and for all
Soaked in blood, I cry my farewells
To the summer rain, lonely and afraid

[Chorus:]
Tears on tape, I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape, she surrenders, needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

[Bridge:]
And for a moment, there's no pain
For once, there's no more pain in your eyes
But maybe a little love
Just enough to convince us to keep breathing on

[Outro:]
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your arms
