[English]

I'm feeling sacrilegious, put your arms around me

I'll stab you in the back

You'll never see a skeleton Christ

I'll be the one in Bible black

...

You should have treated your saviors better

With the tombs that you left behind

Do you think that coffins gossip

And all of your ghosts are blind?

...

Are you here for the resurrection?

How deep did you dig my grave?

You're the one who needs to be saved

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

You can climb to the top of my horns

But make sure that you don't look down

Don't spit in the face of God

When you're trying to wear his crown

Are you here for the resurrection?

How deep did you dig my grave?

You're the one who needs to be saved

You can't kill it until it's born

You can't kill it until it's born

You can't kill it until it's born

You can't kill it until it's born

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back), I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back, baby), I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back), I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back, baby), I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back), I'm feeling sacrilegious

Let's get evil (I'm coming back, baby), I'm feeling sacrilegious

I'm coming back

Coming back, baby
