Holy water
~#**************#~
Cannot help you now

[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Holy water

[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Seven devils all around me

[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And now all your love
~#**************#~
Will be exorcized
~#**************#~
And we will find new saints
~#**************#~
To be canonized
~#**************#~
And its an evensong
~#**************#~
Its a litany
~#**************#~
Its a battle cry
~#**************#~
Its a symphony
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Seven devils all around me
~#**************#~
Seven devils in my house
~#**************#~
See, they were there when I woke up this morning
~#**************#~
Ill be dead before the day is done
~#**************#~
Seven devils all around you
~#**************#~
Seven devils in your house
~#**************#~
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
~#**************#~
And Ill be dead before the day is done
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Before the day is done
~#**************#~
Before the day is done
~#**************#~
Before the day is done

[Bridge]
~#**************#~
You cant keep it out
~#**************#~
Its coming through the walls
~#**************#~
To devastate your heart
~#**************#~
And to take your soul
~#**************#~
For what has been done
~#**************#~
Cannot be undone
~#**************#~
In the eagles eye
~#**************#~
In the evensong
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Seven devils all around you
~#**************#~
Seven devils in your house
~#**************#~
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
~#**************#~
Ill be dead before the day is done
~#**************#~
Before the day is done
