in the shadows cast on devotion
She is the one that I adore
creed of my silent suffocation
Break this bittersweet spell on me
lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
I won't give up
I'm possessed by her
I'm bearing her cross
She's turned into my curse
Break this bittersweet spell on me
lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
I want you
I wanted you
And I need you
I needed you
Break this bittersweet spell on me
lost in the arms of destiny
Break this bittersweet spell on me
lost in the arms of destiny
