[English]

Do you need to judge?

When your life is down

You call it your conviction

Well is that your honest answer?

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

It's not all about it

It's not all about it

When you try to exist

But your life is down

You just need commitment

But why doesn't it feel like the answer?

Be alive you are holding the answer

Like a child purity is the way

Live a life as if you're in heaven

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

It's not all about it

Well that ain't the only answer

No no no

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell

Heaven and hell
