I understand why [?]
I′ll drag these bodies down your hallway
And place two coins onto their eyes

I'll drink the milk that runs right down her legs
Devil′s night is my forgiveness
There's so much [?], you say goodnight

I'll pull you from this fire
Cause you′re burning, you′re burning up inside
I'll just take away your eyes
Cause you′re burning, you're burning up inside

I′ll pull you from this fire
Cause you're burning, you′re burning up inside
Just take away your eyes
Cause you're burning, you're burning up inside

Up inside
Up inside

Up inside
Up inside
