Lacuna Coil - Live To Tell Lyrics






I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then (it will burn inside of me)
It will burn inside of me

Live to tell

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once or twice
I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines, it shines, it shines inside
You can't take that from me
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then (it will burn inside of me)

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then (it will burn inside of me)

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

Live to tell
Live to tell
Live to tell
Live to tell

    🎶 The light that you could never see
    It shines inside, you can't take that from me🎶 Absolutely love these lyrics, especially that one. Madonna wrote an amazing song and i love that Lacuna Coil covered it

  2. K.... ....

    When I bought Delirium I chose the deluxe edition because I saw it contained this and I, as a fan of Madonna AND Lacuna Coil, needed to have this amazing cover in my collection. :D

    K.... ....

    CadavéricaExquisita I. Wise, very wise young grasshopper

  3. I.... R....

    Beautiful cover ♥

  4. W.... W....

    I prefer the original song writing for Madonna. THIS ONLY A GOOD COVER.

  5. V.... S....

    Come si fa a criticare un rifacimento così maestoso di questa canzone di Madonna??? È spettacolare e chi dice il contrario non capisce un cazzo di musica

  6. C.... M....

    Better than the original very beautiful I think.

  7. J.... D....

    I'm probably gonna burn in Hell for this, but (here it goes) this beats the original!! There... it's done... now stone me to death, as i know i deserve.

  8. a.... ....

    goosebumps

  9. k.... ....

    🤔 They wrote their own song and slapped the lyrics to Live to Tell over the top. That's not a "cover".

  10. M.... U....

  17. F.... A....

    Todos os covers do LC são muito foda!

  18. L.... F....

    una boiata pazzesca!! come far diventare una bella canzone una canzoncina qualunque. Tutti i tratti speciali che la connotavano sono spariti e la gente tutta contenta come al solito ...

  19. m.... ....

    CA-RA-LHOOO

  20. J.... C....

    Simplemente brutal, para mi una de las mejores covers que escuché en mi vida !!!

  25. C.... ....

    I didn't even know it was cover when i first this joint haha I fell in love instantly tho....pure beauty

  26. b.... ....

    sorry ... this does not come anywhere close to the expressiveness of Madonna's original.

    b.... ....

    It takes time to get use to it. But eventually its better!

  27. I.... ....

    One of the best gothic metal Madonna covers IMO

  28. I.... C....

    aahhhhh bullshit

  29. D.... 1....

    anyone know the meaning to this song?

  30. S.... ....

    Any cover that LC does is top contender for being better than the original #WeFearNothing

  31. a.... l....

    god I love her voice.

  32. D.... B....

    una bomba !!!

  33. B.... Y....

    i like lacuna coil, but no thanks
    sounds generic and desperate in my opinion

    B.... Y....

    You're the one who's generic and desperate pal

  34. m.... ....

    I am a huge fan of Madonna....and I love this!

  35. P.... B....

    Fuck, fucking awesome

  36. Y.... N....

    This is an amazing track. This band captures the essence so soulful it's almost devine.

  37. A.... ....

    beautiful

  38. f.... *....

    perfeito

  39. S.... F....

    This is not a COVER, it is a rendition.

  40. x.... ....

    I didnt even recognize it as Madonna. Once i listened to her song, i remembered it at once. very well done for a cover.

  41. n.... V....

    Grande Cristina

    n.... V....

    perfeita

  42. M.... S....

    I loved Broken Crown Halo, especially One Cold Day. I missed the LC balladry on Delirium. I am not as in love with Downfall as others, so when I got the deluxe edition, Live To Tell satisfied me immediately! I knew it was going to be a Madonna cover, but no way did I expect perhaps the most haunting LC ballad since Within Me!

    I like Delirium an awful lot but I do miss the more haunting side of LC. They remain my favourite band though.

  43. J.... W....

    Loving this song is awesome

  44. j.... m....

    I loved this version. the lyrics fit well with the melody and with Christina's voice.

    j.... m....

    Never H. Cristina. It pisses her off lol srsly

  45. B.... S....

    Took my breath away...

  46. D.... ....

    Fantastic cover! Love all their covers actually...Enjoy the Silence, Losing My Religion...just great stuff!

    D.... ....

    And Stars!

    D.... ....

    I didn't realize that Stars was a cover/rendition until a few weeks ago. I thought it was only Enjoy The Silence, Losing My Religion, and Live To Tell. Learn something new each day!

    D.... ....

    +talon1976 I'll have to check that one out!

  47. T.... C....

    Awesome cover

  48. E.... P....

    I LOVE THIS COVER!!!

  49. S.... ....

    vocals are shit

    S.... ....

    The vocals are amazing

    S.... ....

    Spinvilchy ... are you deaf?

    S.... ....

    Are u ok?

    💜💜💜💜💜💜😍💜💜

    C.... R....

    Better than original.

  51. A.... ....

    dislike, the original is better than this :/

    A.... ....

    The original is boring and crap. This one is way better

    A.... ....

    +William mohamad hahaahaha lol, and thats for lacuna coil made a coger of it, right? go home pal

    A.... ....

    +Autor you can't even spell cover

    A.... ....

    +Autor you can't even spell cover

    A.... ....

    +William mohamad cover, made it. Kisses.

  52. C.... E....

    I had to listen to this cover a few times before I got it. It is a darker version of the song, and I kind of like it.

    C.... E....

    +Autor Trolling is one thing, being a dik is another. Google 'dikshunaree' and expand your vocabulary..

    C.... E....

    +Autor you're a hater. Leave. This version is way better

    C.... E....

    +William mohamad better than the classic version of Madonna? if im a troll/hater, you are an ignorant.

    C.... E....

    +Autor Madonna tracks are deemed 'classic' largely by the gay community. Just sayin..

    C.... E....

    +Autor better than the original version, you're ignorant and a persistent troll, the original was dull and boring

  53. M.... M....

    Love the sing ♥

  54. h.... c....

    It's not bad. I wish the vocals were more along the same melody as the original. Their best cover was "Stars".

    h.... c....

    who sang the original "Stars"? :O

  55. T.... ....

    To everyone saying this isn't the same tune, I think you need to go listen to the original again lol

    T.... ....

    Well it has the same lyrics and a few nuances of the chord progression, but it does not have the same melody. I would call it more of a rendition than a cover.

    T.... ....

    +Steves ForcedAccount It does have the same tune, but with different instruments.

  56. J.... R....

    I had to listen to this song a couple of times to get it and now I cant stop listening to it. Nice cover!

  57. M.... R....

    I love her voice

  58. M.... W....

    I loved the Original of Madonna, but this is so fucking awesome.

  59. I.... K....

    this is the weakest song on Delirium.
    Delirium otherwise is their best effort since Karmacode

    I.... K....

    It's just a cover lmao chill

    I.... K....

    it's just a bonus track lol. it's not included in the standard CD and is only included in the deluxe edition.

  60. B.... V....

    it's basically their own song with the Live to Tell lyrics, I have always wanted to hear a good metal version of this song and LC butchered their chance at it. Good job! the song sounds like shit, just like the last several LC albums, what a joke the band has become.

    B.... V....

    Fuck your bitch ass opinion, if you don't like their music, shut the fuck up and move somewhere else

    B.... V....

    Bill Vrabel lol I think the song and this album is awesome, and I'm not the only one who loved this new album. But oh well.

    B.... V....

    Bill u need some Vicodin’s bro, chill out, it’s only musik, geez

  61. N.... R....

    They put the lc touch on it . Sounds good to me I've enjoyed all the covers they have done

  62. M.... V....

    They remained true to their style, it's a very good cover! The original version it's gonna be always the best, but they did a great job! I really like this version, Cristina's voice amazing as always :)

    M.... V....

    The original was so boring haha

    M.... V....

    +William mohamad it was kind of a ballad which made it sorrowful but never boring

  63. J.... M....

    This is just so awful. To their credit, I'm surprised. They took this song and completely butchered it. It sounds like she doesn't even know what she's doing.

    J.... M....

    They put their own style to it. Its not terrible, its unique and different. You don't have to like it, but not every cover needs to sound the same as the original song. Have a good one.

    J.... M....

    Eh...since this post it's kinda grown on me. I feel they could've done so much better, but it's not as bad as I first took it.

    J.... M....

    +Sefe Mirabile 😉

    J.... M....

    This is way better than the original

    J.... M....

    +William mohamad yup

  64. W.... ....

    Oh, sorry. I didn't think it was of Madonna ;)

    W.... ....

    Well it's different tune not the same tune

    W.... ....

    it is of Madonna. "True Blue" 1986. Go and learn your lessons. ^^

    W.... ....

    dose any one know what album this came from ?

    W.... ....

    Delirium

  65. W.... ....

    It isn't a cover ;)

    W.... ....

    And the mix is also horrendous.

    W.... ....

    +Metal Mitch, you think this is a better version because, perhaps, you're a metal fan that hates pop music. I'm a fan of both, pop and metal, and this version sucks.

    W.... ....

    Tiger Tiger. I reccommed you should stop listing to pop music. As a metal full metal I don't listen to pop music anymore. Well I have to admit Maybe I do like the Lacuna Coil version better them Madonna. I which know the cover version ain't that silly. "Well that dose not mean you can go and judge other you tubers for no reason why. If they like the cover version better, and there is no fuckin problem to listen a Lacuna Coil live to tell cover version. It's not a big deal to listen to the cover version or original version it dose not matter anyway

    W.... ....

    @Metal Mitch, I don't ask your recommendation and I need no one to tell me what I should listen to or not. I was a "full metal" fan when I was 15 and wanted to impress my colleagues. There's no reason anymore.

    W.... ....

    I am not asking you to follow my advice opinion. All I know that dose not matter if they Listen to "Lacuna Coil" Live To Tell Cover version or not. At longs there comfortable listing to the cover version and everything is fine.

  66. R.... D....

    Amazing cover.
