HIM - Heartkiller Lyrics

Artist: HIM

Album: Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Mika Kristian Karppinen, Mikko Viljami Lindstroem, Mikko Henrik Ju Paananen, Janne Johannes Puurtinen, Ville Hermanni Valo

Farewell, heartless world
I'll send you a postcard burnt
In the flames you tried so hard
To extinguish with fear of failing

I'll write down everything
I have learned and edit it down
To a single word, love
For you I'm waiting, anticipating

Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller
A little we die above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller.

Top hats off to the return
Of the beat to lick a wound to
Cursed for some
And blessed for a few

It doesn't have to make any sense at all
Come hither and we'll fall
In love, for love
I'm crawling out of patience, baby

Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller
A little we die above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller

Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
Heartkiller
Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller
A little we die above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide
Babe, I'll be a flat liner for a heartkiller

    I love all of their music and Anyone out there that disses HIM can go kill themselves.

    Characterized by patterns enjoyed with the formerly-launched HIM albums.A pure combination of all in terms of riffs,lyrics combined with semi-melancholic and semi-heavy sounds.Luvv it though.Not better if unreleased.Keep it up dude!...

    I love this song, though I prefer "In Venere Veritas", it's a good choice for a first single from Screamworks.

    Just to battle what somebody else was trying to say about music fascists.

    I like when people say dark light sucks yet it's their best selling CD.. why didn't there other stuff sell as good? Maybe because the sound of it SUCKED?
    And this song though is the only good song on the new CD. glad my friend let me just borrow it so I didn't have to buy the awful thing.

    the only good thing i can say is that this sounds like dark light 2.0 like its better made but at the same time dark light was their worst record and so its not much of a compliment. i was happy with venus doom and hoping for something awesome with this one but its kinda disapointing...tis not that i dont like it its just that i had my hopes up for something more like greatest lovesongs vol.666 so im sad =( still i love HIM but...

    Cant like this
    the song sounds old because is too similar of dark light songs, its not bad but it really sounds like youre hearing the same song but with a different lyric, aaand Its like ville looks so weird on this video
    I was a BIG fan of HIM but they kinda dissapoint me :( im just sayin its not to make anyone angry or something it makes me a little sad

    Who cares if it sounds like their old songs? It's called progress, and it's a sick song, not to mention an excellent album. For christ's sake, the man lives in a watchtower in helsinki...is that not badass enough?

    I don't see how somebody that hasn't heard of HIM before Heartkiller is a poser. I think you music fascists need to grow up. It isn't their fault if they haven't been exposed to their music before this song, and I think true fans would always welcome new ones.

    Yes, I have liked HIM since Greatest Lovesongs vol.666 too. Doesn't make me any more or any less of a fan.

    They're beginning to sound more and more like The Rasmus... Oh well, this song is alright.

  • Anonymous

    For the people who say HIM has gone back to their roots...HELL NO they didn't!

    This sounds nothing like: Greatest Lovesongs vol. 666

    (Yeah, that's their first album!)

    But i must say, Heartkiller sounds pretty good, and better then Dark light, which, for my sake, was their worst album.

    So let's hope they are going back to their real roots: Greatest Lovesongs vol. 666!!! those were the times....

    I do really love HIM but what'll bug me are the little posers out there who love "heartkiller" and know nothing about HIM. It's just an opinion but i'd prefer old songs sometimes. I am excited to get the new album and see them :D ][=][-][-][V][ ♥

  • Anonymous

    this is not original sound of HIM. im dissapointed. Everything after Dark light is just pointless.

  • Anonymous

    Man it's no good. Him's turned back into the sound they made for Darklight. I was expecting more, I never thought they were gonna just turn back and do the similiar...
    (But yet the lyrics are pretty awesome i should say.)

    MAY 7th AT THE FILLMORE IN NEW YORK BABY!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!.. "Flatliner for a Heartkiller" means he always falls for people that end up hurting him, not the other way around like someone posted previously.

  • Anonymous

    when he says "ill be a flatliner for a heartkiller" he is saying he will break(flatliner) the persons heart the breaks a lot of other peoples hearts(the heartkiller) understand? my girlfriend asked the same question and i can explain it a lot better by talking, oh well hope this helps

    Love, for you

    Sparks will fly, beneath the Luna alight

    A little we die,

    For you I'm open wide,

    Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.

    Come hither ,

    I'm crawling out of patience baby

    all your sorrows sing

    Draw your pain and hear me hum it out
