Lyrics[]
Listen to me Lamia,
Listen to what I've got to say
I've got these feelings,
And they won't go away
I've got these fears inside,
That'll bring me to my knees
Oh help me Lamia,
Or I'm sure I'll die, oh please
I feel unsettled,
Now I know that I've done wrong
I've messed around with mystic things,
And magic for too long
I feel I'm being paid with,
This nightmare inside me
The devil's got a hold on my soul,
And he just won't let me be
I'm on my knees,
Oh help me please
I'm on my knees,
Help me please
Oh, Lamia please try to help me
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And he won't let me be
Lamia I've got this curse,
I'm turning to bad
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And it's driving me mad
Oh
Oh, Lamia please try to help me
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And he won't let me be
Lamia I've got this curse,
I'm turning to bad
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And it's driving me mad
Oh
