Kerosene
Ludovico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Muerto en llamas
Vivo exhausto de placer
Otra vez
Mientras bailo
En un charco de sangre
Otra vez

Caen desmembrándose
Los edificios y almas quemándose al verte
Otra vez
Otra vez

Y todos estarán secos
Carcomidos frente a el
Y uno dominara el fuego
A voluntad de el
Ya nadie puede escapar
Vivo de esta ciudad
Contemplaremos nuestro mismo holocausto frente a el

Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
