[English]

Dear priest

I have a confession to make

With a drop of blood and tears

It’s just a play

This is a secret soliloquy

Beautiful but born bad

Don’t predict it, no way

You just talk too much

Oh beautiful but chilling

First impressions, the stronger the better

Oh affectionate but cold as ice

Gonna make you crazy

Oooh, when your calm heart sees me,

Yeah I like that, it might stop

Now I’m changing, can’t you see?

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Accendio with your fingertips

Accendio with your fingertips

Turn from the cliff

Pupils dyed with colors never seen before

That emotion is pure

That gaze is love

It won’t be easy, Out of control

A maze filled with a scent

Pushing you into the smoke

Six drops of magic syrup

And we pop into the mirror

Pearls all over my body

Swirl two fingers

Show you a sweet curse

Let them BURN

Oooh, when your calm heart sees me,

Yeah I like that, it might stop

Now I’m changing, can’t you see?

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Accendio with your fingertips

Accendio with your fingertips

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Watch me, don't touch me

Love me, don’t hurt me

Watch me, don't touch me

Cast a spell ‘Accendio’

Accendio with your fingertips

Accendio with your fingertips
