Oh my holy lord Sets my soul on fire Flames of love and sweet perfume She's my heart's desire She's an angel straight from hell Draws me to the deep In the darkness way below It's my heart she'll keep Thunder underground Watch the castle fall Sound of wind it takes the sky And winter takes us all Mountain high against the sky Watches as we pray Laughing loud and smiling proud This is where we lay Lover Leaver Taker Believer Oh God, hellfire With your hand'll raze So he'll fall to his knees Watch the fire blaze Satan plays his flute for him The sound it burns his ears Watch his eyes The peace of mind Slips and disappears Lover Leaver Taker Believer Believer
