HIM - Join Me in Death

"Join Me in Death" is a single by the Finnish band HIM, taken from their second studio album Razorblade Romance. It was also released as "Join Me", since they were not allowed to include "Death" in the title for the US version. The song is the band's best-known song in Europe. It was featured in the end credits of the European version of the sci-fi movie The Thirteenth Floor (The US version featured The Cardigans' Erase/Rewind instead.)

 Four versions of the song's video exist: three "lazer versions", two of which include different scenes from the Thirteenth Floor movie, and the fourth being an "ice version", with a vague Romeo and Juliet theme also attributed to the song. This has met with controversy regarding its subject matter. "A couple of people blamed me for a suicide someone committed over here saying that 'Join Me' is an invitation to kill yourself," HIM frontman Ville Valo told the European magazine Metal Hammer in 2003. "What I was trying to do was sort of rip-off 'Don't Fear the Reaper' by Blue Öyster Cult, making a rock track of Romeo And Juliet." Lyrics such as "Would you die tonight for love?" have contributed to the misconception that the song is about suicide, which Valo denies, claiming the lyrics refer to giving things up for the sake of love. "It's not about suicide, that song. It's about giving it all away," Valo told the magazine Modern Fix.

In addition to its release on Razorblade Romance and in the film The Thirteenth Floor (though not on its soundtrack), "Join Me" was included on the Resident Evil: Apocalypse soundtrack in 2004. The band Gregorian covered "Join Me" with Sarah Brightman on their album Masters of Chant: Chapter III and on Brightman's Limited Edition The Harem Tour album. Another Gregorian version exists with vocals performed by Amelia Brightman.

HIM performed this song for the first time in Ilosaarirock, Finland on the 12th of September, 1998, which featured an extra verse not included in the studio versions.

 

HIM - Join Me in Death Lyric

Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world

and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
we're so anxious to be together
together in death

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

Baby join me in death

HIM - Wicked Game

The Finnish band HIM remade this song, first using it in their demo This is Only the Beginning, then on their EP 666 Ways To Love: Prologue, followed by another recording of it on their first album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666, and lastly on the British and American versions of their second album Razorblade Romance. The last recording they made of it then reappeared on their compilation album And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997–2004. With "Wicked Game" on their EP and first album, HIM gained fame in their native Finland. HIM frontman Ville Valo had this to say about "Wicked Game": "I went to Pasila's library and borrowed the soundtrack-vinyl of Wild At Heart and recorded it on tape. So with Linde we tried to 'learn' the song from the tape. It was kind of funny, that we learnt the song a bit wrong. We did not hear the guitar parts well enough from that 'bad quality' tape. We also heard the lyrics wrong, and when the song was later recorded to our first EP, there were a few funny mistakes in the lyrics.

HIM - Wicked Game LYRIC

 World was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you

No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
..with you

(this world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you

No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
..with you

World was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No, and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'll never dream that I lose somebody like you, no

No, I wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
(No, I wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
..with you

(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I...
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one

LYRICS

."And Love Said No"

And love's light blue
Led me to you
Through all the emptiness that had become my home
Love's lies cruel
Introduced me to you
And at that moment I knew I was out of hope

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
for dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Love's icy tomb
Dug open for you
Lies in a cemetery that bears my name
Love's violent tune
From me to you
Rips your heart out and leaves you
bleeding with a smile on your face

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
for dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

And love said no

And love's light blue
Took me from you
And at that moment I knew I was out of hope

Again

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
for dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

And love said no

HIM - Strange World

XX - Two Decades of Love Metal is an upcoming compilation album by Finnish band, HIM, set to be released October 26 2012. It will feature the new single "Strange World", set to be released digitally on Friday, September 21st, originally by the artist Ké

Lyrics

HIM – Strange World

Is this our last chance to say all we have to say?
Hiding here inside ourselves, we live our lives afraid
so close your eyes and just believe in everything you’re told
Cause in this land of great confusion, it’s easy to give up control

Chorus:
Strange world, people talk and tell only lies
Strange world, people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world, dream one day we’ll see the light
Strange world, believe and everything will be alright

And this is the place the world begins and ends again
No secrets left to find, no seven deadly sins
This world that we have wasted, has kept us very well
When science now is sacred, who will save us from ourselves?

Chorus:
Strange world, people talk and tell only lies
Strange world, people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world, dream one day we’ll see the light
Strange world, believe and everything will be alright

Strange world, people talk, sometimes I wonder why
Strange world, ṗeople kill, still no one hears their cries

Strange world, people talk and tell only lies
Strange world, people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world, dream one day we’ll see the light
Strange world, believe and everything will be alright
Burn these tars out of my eyes
Still I wonder, wonder why

HIM - Your Sweet Six Six Six

"Your Sweet Six Six Six", also released as "Your Sweet 666", is a song by the Finnish band HIM, and was released in 1998. It is the first track and first single from the album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666 as well as the first ever single by HIM. This single featured a "His Infernal Majesty" sticker on it, despite the fact that the band had since changed their name back to 'HIM'.
The single was again released in 2000, but this included the Razorblade Romance re-recording of the song, with a different cover (in pink), and an alternative tracklisting. The B-Side, "The Beginning of the End (Satanik Love Mix)", was later remastered for Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 and listed as the "Sad Damn Version".

LYRICS

"Your Sweet Six Six Six"

There are things you should know
And the distance between us seems to grow
But you're holding on strong
And, oh, how hard it is to let go, oh, so hard to let go

I'm waiting for your call and I'm ready to take your
Six six six in my heart
And I'm longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart (oh, my heart)

I'm losing my faith in you
But you don't want it to be true
But there's nothing you can do
There is no thing you can do - yes, I've lost my faith in you

Waiting for your call
And I'm ready to take your six six six in my heart
And I'm longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart
Right here in this heart

Oh,
Right here in this heart
I'm lonely

And I know it's too late
Oh, my god you're so lonely

I'm waiting for your call and I'm ready to take your
Six six six in my heart
And I'm longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart
I'm ready for the fall and I'm ready to take your
Six six six in my heart
Longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart
Right here in this heart
Right straight through my heart
Oh, right here in my heart

"It's All Tears (Drown in This Love)" is a song by the Finnish band HIM, released in 1997 as the fifth track from their album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666.
In 2004, HIM's first compilation, And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997–2004, was released; "It's All Tears (Drown in This Love)" was re-recorded exclusively for the UK release of that album.
The single was released in 1999 in Germany, but it was only for use by disc jockeys. Later it appeared in HIM's The Single Collection. The song stops suddenly at the end, but this is intentional.

LYRICS

  "It's All Tears (Drown In This Love)"

I'm waiting for you to drown in
my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love

Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like
It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time
Come closer my love
Will you let me tear your heart apart?
Now all hope is gone so drown in this love

I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love

So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears
And you're begging for more though the end is getting near
come closer my love
I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this
love

I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
