[English]

When the days are cold and the cards all fold

And the saints we see are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail

Are the worst of all and the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you

But with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat, look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide

Don't get too close, it's dark inside

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call, it's the last of all

When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave and the masquerade

Will come calling out at the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down, but I am hellbound

Though this is all for you, don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat, look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide

Don't get too close, it's dark inside

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make, I say it's up to fate

It's woven in my soul, I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright, I wanna save that light

I can't escape this now, unless you show me how

When you feel my heat, look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide

Don't get too close, it's dark inside

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
