I Love You, I'll Kill You

Enigma · The Cross of Changes

I see love, I can see passion
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Don't play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says:
I love you... I kill you...

Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room...

Look into the mirror of your soul
Love and hate are one in all
Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me
You'll see the face who'll say:

I love you... I'll kill you...
But I'll love you forever

Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room

I Love You, I'll Kill You
