  EmHer dress's filigree, She tAells me all her secrets then I'm back on the street.
  EmOh, whoooAaaaooh
It's Emhard, oh it's hard to help yourself when you don'At know where to begin.
It's the Emdevil, it's the boil, it's the black of night in your Ahead, in your head.
DDo you see the fire, heavy lit before this timCe? Know you the color of the Dend of, the end of, the end.
EmSilence is dancing to beating drum. AMoney is nothing but a loaded gun.
  EmOh, whoooaAaaooh
And it's Emhard, oh it's hard to help yourself when you don'At know where to begin.
It's the Emdevil, it's the boil, it's the black of night in your Ahead, in your head.

And it's Emhard, oh it's hard to help yourself when you don'At know where to begin.
In the Emmidst of a moment can you break the boy, Acan you tame a demon?
Light a candle in the Emdark, in the Adark, in dark
In the Emdark, light a candle in the Adark, in dark
In dark, in Emdark, oh, whoa, Awhoa
In the Emdark, light a candle in the Adark, in dark, in dark, in dark... (Fade...)
