[English]

Undo these chains, my friend

I'll show you the rage I've hidden

Perish the sacrament

Swallow, but nothing's forgiven

You and I can't decide

Which of us was taken for granted

Make amends

Some of us are destined to be outlived

Step inside, see the Devil in I

Too many times we've let it come to this

Step inside, see the Devil in I

You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

...

...

Under the words of men

Something is tempting the father

Where is your will, my friend?

Insatiates never even bother

You and I, wrong or right

Traded a lie for the leverage

In between the lens in light

You're not what you seem

Step inside, see the Devil in I

Too many times we've let it come to this

Step inside, see the Devil in I

You'll realize I'm not your Devil

...

I'm not your Devil anymore

...

Your station is abandoned

Fooled you 'cause I know what you've done

Sensation, deprivation

You should've burned when you turned on everyone

...

So step inside, see the Devil in I

Too many times, we've let it come to this

Step inside, see the Devil in I

...

I know you'll find your answers in the end

Step inside, see the Devil in I

You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

...

So step inside

Step inside

See the Devil in I

See the Devil in I

...
