I shall burn in this hell
In a fire made for you
Of your frozen heart
My devotion will never fade
I'll honor you every night
I will strike down with a vengeance
On the fears that haunt your soul
I will always be there
Though from a distance
And though my heart shall bleed
My love will never blacken
And through these lonely streets
I'll honor you every night
My devotion will never fade
