Verse 2 & Prechorus are same as before
Verse Lyrics -
"You can hear it (as an offering)
If you're a good girl (as an offering)
A righteous choir is singing (as an offering...)
No, screaming,
As they burn.
Darling, there are no taboos
In lust... My veins coarse blood that's so
Venomous.... when heartless hears a heartbeat...
He's jealous, so jealous."
Chorus 2 - play chorus 1 2x with slight rhythm changes before Bridge
