Florence and the Machine, ‘Seven Devils’
Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
I don’t want your money, I don’t want your crown
See, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
Holy water cannot help you now
See, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers, no lakes can put the fire out
I’m going to raise the stakes, I’m going to smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, they were there when I woke up this morning
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
Now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it’s an even sum, it’s a melody
It’s a battle cry, it’s a symphony
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See, they were there when I woke up this morning
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
They can keep me alive until I tear the walls
Until I slave your hearts and they take your souls
What have we done? Can it be undone?
In the evil’s heart, in the evil’s soul
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
