Here we go
Dance with the devil inside of me
I'm longing for a second chance
And taste what seems to remind me
Of all my skulls and skeletons
Live and let live
Die and let die
War and peace in my hand
My temptations
This war and peace inside
Will take me to the end
Hell awaits, it's closing in on me
It strokes its hand down on my back
And no more mistakes
My intentions are finally clear
From how I've always been
Live and let live
Die and let die
Live and let live
Die and let die
War and peace in my hand
My temptations
This war and peace inside
Won't end, yeah
War and peace in my hand, yeah
This war and peace
Inside my head
Will take me to the end
War and peace in my hand
My temptations
This war and peace inside
Won't end, ah yeah
War and peace in my hand, yeah
This war and peace
Inside my head
