  • My mother said that I was holy
    My father said that I would burn
    My mother said I was an angel
    My father said that I would turn
    So I believed these words and I turned on myself
    'Cause maybe he's right, maybe I'm worthless
    Or maybe he's wrong and my mother was right
    I got a killer in me to give me purpose

    Oh, I can feel a holy war
    I can feel a holy war within
    No, I can't take a holy war
    No, I can't take a holy war again

    Is this what you wanted?

    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    You just keep wanting more
    With your blood and your whore
    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    It's a beautiful tragedy
    You wanna be sick like me
    'Cause I can bring a little hell

    I was told that I was nothing
    Yeah, I was told that I was so pure
    And I was told that I was dirty
    Yeah, I was told I was the cure

    I ask myself, am I God or shit?
    Am I the high, the low? I'm fucking worth it
    And I ask myself, am I love or hate?
    You are the reason I have and why I can't quit

    Oh, I can feel a holy war
    Yeah, I can feel a holy war within
    No, I can't take a holy war
    No, I can't take a holy war again

    Is this what you wanted?

    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    You just keep wanting more
    With your blood and your whore
    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    It's a beautiful tragedy
    You wanna be sick like me
    'Cause I can bring a little hell

    In between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven

    Is this what you wanted?

    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    You just keep wanting more
    With your blood and your whore
    I'm gonna bring a little hell
    I'm gonna bring a little heaven
    It's a beautiful tragedy
    You wanna be sick like me
    'Cause I can bring a little hell

    In between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven
    I'm in between, in between
    In between hell and heaven

    In between, in between
    I'm in between, in between Writer/s: Maria Brink
