[Verse 1]
       
I was on the p

          
agan run,
       
On a     super

               
stitious road,
        
Looking for a 

            
day to come,
       
To park my res

          
tless soul,
       
I was lost and

          
 in a mess,
       
Too proud to b

               
eg or bow,
        
And though I'd

        
 never admit i

         
t,
        
I  was scared 

           
as hell.


[Pre-Chorus]
             
She said, "Com

   
e along with m

e,
             
I'll take you 


home,
             
I'll make you 


warm again",
            
Then left me c

    
old,
      
Cold.

   


[Interlude]
               


[Chorus 1]
       
I  was on the 

         
pagan run,
       
Avarice was my

     
 road, (ooh oo

     
h . . .),
       
A  pilgrim for

             
 holy money,
      
  Chasing an e

      
mpty hole (ooh

     
 ooh . . .).


[Post-Chorus]
             
She said, "Com

   
e along with m

e,
             
I'll take you 


home,
             
I'll make you 


warm again",
            
Then left me c

    
old,
      
Cold.
