핀란드 국민 가수? HIM은 데뷔때 부터 현재까지 자신들의 음악을 '러브메틀LOVE METAL'이라고 칭하고 있다. HIM의 새앨범 [DARK LIGHT]는 음악 외적으로 새로운 레이블인 워너뮤직 산하의 사이어 레코드사에서 발매하는 첫 앨범! 본 작은 멜로 드라마와 같은 고쓰 분위기, 멜로디컬 락, 그리고 팝적인 분위기가 잔뜩 묻어나는 신보! 첫싱글로 발표되어 HIM의 성공을 가장 먼저 알려줄 <WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY>는 펑키 풍의 멜로디를 담은 곡으로 커버에 차가운 청색 배경과 평화를 나타내는 발로의 얼굴을 사용했다. 격정적인 기타솔로 또한, 이 곡을 돋보이게 하는 요소이다. 메틀릭 기타연주와 스트링 연주가 더해지는 <KILLING LONELINESS>는 HIM만의 독창적인 스타일의 곡이며, 새앨범에서 가장 뛰어난 멜로디를 들려준다. 브릿팝 느낌의 타이틀곡 <DARK LIGHT>는 서정의 극을 치닫는 다크 발라드! .... ....
You can't escape the wrath of my heart Beating to your funeral song All faith is lust for hell regained And love dust in the hands of shame
Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed Lead you along this path in the dark Where I belong until I feel your warmth
Hold me like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire heart
I'll be the thorns in every rose, You've been sent by hope (You'll grow cold) I am the nightmare waking you up From the dream of a dream of love (Just like before)
Let me weep you this poem as heaven's gates close Paint you my soul scarred and alone Waiting for your kiss to take me back home
Hold me like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire heart
Hold me like you held onto life (Like you held onto life) (When all fears came alive and entombed me) My vampire heart Love me like you loved the sun (Love me like you loved the sun) (Scorching the blood in my) My vampire heart
Heaven ablaze in our eyes We're standing still in time The blood on our hands is the wine We offer as sacrifice
Come on, and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul
This endless mercy mile We're crawling side by side With hell freezing over in our eyes Gods kneel before our crime
Come on lets show, them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don’t let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) For your soul
Come on, and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don’t let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
I dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring While the ice gives way under my feet And so I drown with the sun
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose
I open my eyes with a sigh of relief As the warmth of summer's sunlight dances around me And I see you with dead leaves in your hands
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose
Memories sharp as daggers Pierce into the flesh of today The suicide of love took away all that matters And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart
With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms you saved me I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness
Nailed to a cross together As solitude begs us to stay We disappear in the life forever And denounce the power of death over our souls as secret words are said to start a war
With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms you saved me I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness
I'm killing loneliness
With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms you saved me I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness
I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness with you
Covered the carcass of time with flowers To send the scent of blame to the grave Set the darkest thoughts on fire And watched the ashes climb to heaven's gates
We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door While the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me"
Death served wine for lovers Brought from the world where devils reign And intoxicated angels with sorrow They witnessed in the eyes of their slaves
We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door While the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me"
Hiding underneath The veil of broken dreams, we find her weeping On her once-white wings She will be carrying the weight of our deeds
And she bleeds for love forever gone
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time The devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Finding souls to feed The nightside of Eden We see her struggling For her love's last breath and walk off
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time The devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
She's blinded by the fear Of life and death and everything in between We smile when she cries a river of tears A mirror where we see nothing but a reflection of heaven too far away
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time Devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
We're so alive (Drunk on shadows) So alive (Drunk on shadows) So alive (Drunk on shadows) (Drunk on shadows) So alive (Drunk on shadows) I'm drunk on shadows
A moth into a butterfly and a lie into the sweetest truth I'm so afraid of life I try to call your name, but I'm silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again
I see the seasons changing And in the heart of this autumn, I fall With the leaves from the trees
I play dead To hide my heart Until the world, gone dark, fades away
I cry like God cries the rain and I'm just one step away from the end of today
I see the reasons changing And in the warmth of the past, I crawl Scorched by the shame
I play dead To hide my heart Until the world, gone dark, fades away
I stay dead Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate Before it's too late
