Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going doooown
I thought it over and drew the curtain
Leave me to my cell, lead me to my cell
I hummed the dies irae as you played the hallelujah
Leave me to cell, don’t leave me in my cell
If you’ve been made to serve amaster you’d
Be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand
Could I’ve been made to serve a master
Well I’m never going to understand, never understand
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms...
