In hell, my angel
I've planned our goodbyes
To the Earth, my angel
And I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms
Let the sea devour our bodies, ah
Let the salt cleanse our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Oh, I will still love you
I will still love you
I apologize to the gods
To my mother and her praises
I know all the prayers
All the wishes
For things to change
But I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms
Let the sea devour our bodies, ah
Let the salt cleanse our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Oh, I will still love you
I will still love you
We'll both burn together
In hell, my angel
You can write your goodbyes
To the Earth, my angel
Because I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms
If the sea devours our bodies, ah
If the salt stings our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Oh, I will still love you
I will still love you
