Title: Saturnine Saturnalia
Post by: Jay on March 20, 2020, 11:28:21 AM

Hearts haunted roar relentlessly
'neath the funereal moon
Spellbound we circle around a dream
Of hope untombed

Love a Saturnalia saturnine
The earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry
Love a Saturnalia saturnine


Kohl me into the corner of a hellscape blue
In nighttime hue
There is no end to the hurting
I love you

Love a Saturnalia saturnine
The earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry


Love a Saturnalia
Libation for failure
Love a Saturnalia saturnine

Love a Saturnalia saturnine
The earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry

Love a Saturnalia saturnine
The earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry

Love a Saturnalia saturnine
Libation for failure
Love a Saturnalia saturnine

The only correction I have is that "saturnine" doesn't need to be capitalized. Great work, though, Jay, thank you for this!

Hearts hunted roar relentlessly 'neath ethereal moon
Spellbound, we circle around a dream of hope untombed

The Roman goddess of the moon is also goddess of the hunt. Funereal moon doesn't fit with the motif of the moon being a good thing, not a bad thing. Running away from the sun, moonlit hearts. I don't think it makes sense for the moon to suddenly be gloomy. And ethereal means celestial, the nature of the sky, other worlds- We are the ones with moonlit hearts and we belong to another world. Circle around means focused on the dream of hope untombed.

I'm probably way off. haha

Funereal is correct, and it's "Kohl me into" rather than "crawling into", which no one could have guessed haha

Love a Saturnalia saturnine, the Earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry

Love a Saturnalia saturnine

From a cup that will never run dry
Love a Saturnalia (love a Saturnalia) saturnine
The Earth chokes on bitter wine
From a cup that will never run dry

Love a Saturnalia saturnine







These are my favorite Ville Valo lyrics ever right now. My libations to you, VV.

Thanks! I believe I've updated everything...let me know if I missed anything.

BTW, Apple Music has the lyrics, but they're out of sync and not correct, according to the man's own pic. :)
