I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in lucifer's mirror
And i am his killer, i'm devil eyes
Angel, lady in white, you've had your time, now you are mine, devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in lucifer's mirror
And i am his killer
Oh yeah, i'm devil eyes, oh yeah, i love my eyes, oh yeah, those evil
Eyes,
Oh yeah, i love my eyes (i'm gonna get you)
I am heading for the gates of hell, bringing a victim, she's angel eyes
I took her to hell, in lucifer's spell, i am his mirror
And still i'm his killer, still i'm his killer, devil eyes, devil eyes.
