I dunno if I have everything right (of course), but here's my interpretation:
"She was the sun,
Shining upon,
The tomb of your hopes, and dreams so frail.
He was the moon,
Painting you,
With its glow so vulnerable and pale."
-The girl re-awakened the guy's hopes and dreams that had been broken before by a past love. The guy was the only light in the girl's life, so she made him into something a little better than he was, and it was hard for him to live up to her standards.... (?)
"She was the wind,
Carrying in,
All the troubles and fears, here for years, tried to forget.
He was the fire,
Restless and wild,
And you were like a moth to that flame."
-The guy had bad past experience with love, so the girl reminds him of all the bad things in the past relationship. The girl is just completely mesmerized by the guy and doesn't keep a straight head about things.
"The heretic seal beyond divine,
A prayer to a God who's deaf and blind,
The last rites for souls on fire,
Three little words and a question why."
-They end up having troubles and become depressed and pray to God, who doesn't listen to them or help them out. They no longer understand why they love eachother.
"Love's the funeral of hearts,
And an ode for cruelty,
When angels cry blood on flowers of evil in bloom,
The funeral of hearts,
And a plea for mercy,
When love is the gun separating me from you."
-All in all, a love like this is doomed and can't hold up for too long. It only hurts in the end. Eventually, "love" becomes the only thing that puts such a huge wedge between people who say they love eachother and then have troubles like this, because once the romantic factor is gone, the relationship can no longer exist. If the words "I love you" had never been said, they probably would have gotten along fine. This is why "love is a gun separating me from you".
BTW it would be much appreciated if ppl wouldn't take up the SONG MEANING section with a bunch of bullshit and quarrels, it only takes up space and pisses people off when they read through it TRYING to find an actual interpretation of a song. And for the people who love pissing others off just for the hell of it, I have but two words for your kind: FUCK OFF.
