Someone´s watching me from somewhere
when everything is breaking down
Bare me to your temple mother
let me die another day
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
One step further led me nowhere
I was stuck inside this haunted house
Why was I shown all this glory
Heaven help me come around
I will deny eternity as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I´m going down
I will deny eternity, I will deny eternity
as I´m watching me
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
