Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale
C G Am
Pre Chorus: I want to hide the truth I want to shel-ter you

But with the beast in-side There's no-where we can hide
G Am
No mat-ter what we breed We still are made of greed
F C
This is my king-dom come This is my king-dom come
G Am
Chorus: When you feel my heat Look in-to my eyes

It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
G Am
Don't get too close It's dark in-side

It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
C G
2. At the cur-tain's call Is the last of all

When the lights fade out All the sin-ners crawl
C G
So they dug your grave And the mas-que-rade
Am F
Will come ca-lling out At the mess you made
C G Am

It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
G Am
Bridge: They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate

It's wo-ven in my soul I need to let you go
G Am
Your eyes they shine so bright I want to save that life
F C
I can't es-cape this now Un-less you show me how
G Am
Chorus: When you feel my heat Look into my eyes
F C
It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
