Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
D G
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out

scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison

From the poison stream, then I floated, out of here

She runs through the streets with eyes painted red
G
Under a black belly of clouds in the rain
D
in through a doorway, she brings me
G
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
D G
she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes

Ending Chorus:

She will,
A C/G G A
suffer the needle chill,
C/G G D
She's running to stand, still.
