Hellfire Songtext
von Peyton Parrish

Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue, I am justly proud (et tibit pater)
Beata Maria, you know I′m so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd (quia peccavi nimis)

Then tell me, Maria, why I see her dancing there?
Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul? (cogitatione)
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing me out of all control
(verb o et opere)


Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning desire
Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault (mea culpa)
I′m not to blame (mea culpa)
It is the gypsy girl the witch who sent this flame (mea maxima culpa)
It's not my fault (mea culpa)
If in God's plan (mea culpa)
He made the devil so much stronger than a man

Protect me, Maria
Don′t let this siren cast her spell
Don′t let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let mine and mine alone

Hellfire
Darkfire
Now, gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

(Kyrie eleison) God have mercy on her
(Kyrie eleison) God have mercy on me
(Kyrie eleison) But she will be mine
Or she will burn
