Holy, Holy
Dove descend
Soft and slowly
When I'm near the end
Holy, Holy
Dark defend
Shield me, show me
When I need a friend
Slowly, slowly
Violence, end
Love reign o'er me
When I need a friend
Hombre, mire
Ah, propiamente
Para toda la gente ha sido motivo de burla
Porque todo el mundo piensa que es una cosa imposible
Que es cuestión de locos
El problema es que todo es increíble
Y la gente no lo acepta
