    Lyrics: Sleepwalking Past Hope
    I hid the keys to unlock love's heart
    To hold you in my sweetest pain and suffering
    Everything's unfair in our lust and war
    Redemption beyond right and wrong
    In our hearts love keeps sweet-talking to despair
    And goes on sleepwalking past hope
    All is lost in this war
    And all we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song
    Sleepwalking past hope
    I unlit the light to embrace the dark
    To be near but not to turn into you my darling
    Forever we're lost in our souls' storm
    Reflections of each other's faults
    I gave up long ago
    Painting love with crimson flow
    Ran out of blood and hope
    So I paint you no more
    My hell begins from the 10th and descends to the circle
    Six hundred threescore and six
    And from there I crawl beneath Lucifer's claws just for one last kiss

    He smoked about 3 packs of Marlboro a day during golden era of HIM. Smoking is important part of his image. Once he told these words "The more i smoke the better i sing". He gave up smoking because of health condition in 2010 but started again in 2012.

    This song is my absolute favorite from HIM 🖤🔥 I always felt that HIM’s Venus Doom and [AMATORY]’s VII are two albums with something subtly similar, like two brothers born from different mothers in different countries, even though [AMATORY] were much more hardcore at the time. Both albums were released almost in the same time back in 2008, and i thought why they are so irrationally close to esch other st some very deep level. I guessed that may be [AMATORY]’s producer Tue Madsen was a fan of HIM and that’s why i hear some kind of influence but a few days ago i’ve found out that it was [AMATORY]’s guitarist, who was creating all the music at VII. Anyway Venus Doom and VII are two my favorite heavy albums released in 2008, they always come together in my music universe, two masterpieces.

    Whenever I listen to this song (one of HIM's best, IMO), I am always fascinated by the backing piano melody, and it's funny you didn't mention that. As for the smoking, this concert was shot in the autumn of 2007, and Ville (the singer and mastermind behind everything HIM related, kinda like how T. Holopainen is for Nightwish) used to smoke a lot back then, he quit in the meantime. If you do more stuff from this gig (and you should, you'll find more cool stuff, like 'Soul on Fire' or 'It's all tears') you'll see him smoking some more. Anyways, great reaction to a great song.

    Ville used to be an EXTREMELY heavy smoker in the past, also heavy drinker. He always used to both smoke and drink on stage.
    This concert was done quite soon after he got out of rehab in 2007 and since he is stage shy ( you would´t guess right) he was using his cigarettes as crotches to help him get through it. You can notice he is not even smoking them so much most of the time, just holding them.
    Then he quit smoking and cigarettes disappeared but he replaced them with drinking tons of bottles of Vitamin water.
    He got back to smoking since then, alcohol we don´t speak about :-)
    Please check their Overdrive live performance from Germany, it´s an absolute gem.

    As stated below Ville used to smoke at least 3 packs a day in HIMs prime years. This performance is kinda at the end of HIMs prime era. I see some lame song suggestions in the comments, you should do HIM - the funeral of hearts (live at semifinal 2003) if you enjoy villes voice.

    Ville, the vocalist, writes all the parts for all the instruments and the lyrics as he plays all of them. And he is a great poet and fascinating vocalist as you can see )))

    The best about HIM is that they are unique and, trust me, that's much to say in music.

    The band's name was originally His Infernal Majesty but they had to start using abbreviation because they were associated to devil worshipping which was a big problem in 90s Hel(l)sinki. HIM also fitted better to album covers.

      Nice story, but nobody in Helsinki was concerned about demons at that time. They were more about torching their own businesses for insurance money..

      @@operatori I wasn't there to witness it but that information came from the police and other reliable sources. The band has also talked about it and it's mentioned on their Finnish Wikipedia page.
