A história da banda começa em 1991, quando Ville Valo e Migé Amour criam uma banda, os “Kafferi”. A banda era constituida por Ville (guitarra e vocal), Migé (baixo) e mais dois substitutos como bateristas – Juppi e Juha Tarvonen.
O primeiro concerto foi no Tavastia Club (Helsinki, Finlândia) em 1991.
Os “Kafferi” fizeram uma demo intitulada “Xilga Xilga Besa Besa”, mas com o nome oficial de “Witches And Other Night Fears”.

[Verse 1] EmCEmC Again the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders EmCEmC And its weight seems unbearable EmC Your tomb is where your heart is, EmC I should have told her EmCEm But within me hid a secret so terrible
[Pre-Chorus] AmEm To cry is to know that you're alive AmEm But my river of tears has run dry AmEm I never wanted to fool you, no D But a cold heart is a dead heart C And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Chorus] C If I should die before I wake EmD Pray no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, EmD Rescue me with your smile (darlin') C If I should die before I wake EmD There ain't no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, Em Rescue me with your smile
[Verse 2] EmCEmC The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder EmCEmC And fed the gods of war insatiable EmC Your home is where the dark is EmC I should have told her EmCEm Embrace the fire indestructible
[Pre-Chorus] AmEm To die is to know that you're alive AmEm But my river of blood won't run dry AmEm I never wanted to lose you, no D But a cold heart is a dead heart C And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Chorus] C If I should die before I wake EmD Pray no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, EmD Rescue me with your smile (darlin') C If I should die before I wake EmD There ain't no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, Em Rescue me with your smile
[Verse 3] AmEm Oh, to cry is to know that you're alive AmEm And my river of tears has run dry AmEm I never wanted to fool you, no D But a cold heart is a dead heart D (quietly) A deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart D (stop) C And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Chorus] C If I should die before I wake EmD Pray no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, EmD Rescue me with your smile (darlin') C If I should die before I wake EmD There ain't no one my soul to take CD If I wake before I die, Em Rescue me with your smile
