"When it started burning, it didn't get extinguished

I swear it turned into coal

If you're also addicted to it

Then by God it's surely devastating"

Give me your heart or give me a curse

We are crazy about you

We are intoxicated by you"

Third Song:

That it is getting dissolved in my soul

Its stains are not disappearing"
