[Verse 1]
So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure
Searching for my disciples
Dispossessed and alone

[Chorus]
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your corruption

[Verse 2]
I took a virgin like Mary
And said "I give you The One"
I confessed to desire
And watched the world come undone

[Chorus]
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your obsession

[Bridge]
(See my all)
(See my light)
(x4)

[Chorus]
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To Heaven
Your Heaven

[Verse 3]
So I moved like a rumour
Like a glorious lie
And I walked into Heaven
Into dead paradise
