Holy water cannot help me now
I've come to burn your kingdom down
No rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm going to raise the stakes,
I'm going to smoke you out

I'll wash away all the attachment
And I'll annihilate my emotions
I won't look back even for an instant
I no longer owe you my devotion

You see I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done
There are seven devils all around me
There are seven devils in my heart

I've felt the burning in my soul
And the pain you've caused has taken a toll
My heart has a gaping hole
Where my emotions used to be

There are seven devils all around me
There are seven devils in my heart
I've been dead since that dreary morning
I was dead before I picked up that gun
Based on Florence + The Machine's song seven devils
