[English]

No God above us

Can we repent this sin?

No soul is innocent

Everybody wants to love

You walk alone into the darkest night

You'll never sleep until you're satisfied

You need love, you need one

You need him

You'll never get your mama's wedding ring

Father always said you ruined everything

But you prayed, begged and prayed

Heart unchanged

Don't be scared, little child

You're no demon (you're no demon, don't be frightened now)

There's a God in the sky

Don't believe him (don't believe him, God do love you now)

Don't be scared, little child

Of that feeling

You're in love

You found Heaven

Your heart is breaking as you leave that door

You never meant to start this holy war

But you're trapped, pack your bags

Don't look back

Don't be scared, little child

You're no demon (you're no demon, don't be frightened now)

There's a God in the sky

Don't believe him (don't believe him, God do love you now)

Don't be scared little, child

Of that feeling

You're in love

You found Heaven

You're no demon, don't be frightened now
