[English]

You built me up with your wishing hell

I didn't have to sell you

You threw your money in the pissing well

You do just what they tell you

Repent, that's what I'm talking about!

I shed the skin to feed the fake

Repent, that's what I'm talking about!

Whose mistake am I, anyway?

Cut the head off

Grows back hard

I am the Hydra

Now, you'll see your star

...

Prick your finger, it is done

The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun

Angel has spread his wings

The time has come for bitter things

Prick your finger it is done

The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun

Angel has spread his wings

The time has come for bitter things

Repent! (That's what he's talking about!)

I shed the skin to feed the fake

Repent! (That's what he's talking about!)

Whose mistake am I, anyway?

Cut the head off

Grows back hard

I am the Hydra

Now, you'll see your star

...

Time has come, it is quite clear

Our Antichrist is almost here!

Time has come, it is quite clear

Our Antichrist is almost here!

Time has come, it is quite clear

Our Antichrist is almost here!

...

Cut the head off

Grows back hard

...

I am the Hydra

Now, you'll see your star

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you
