I've been watching you for a long time,
I have loved you from the beginning of time,
I am the one who was betrayed with a kiss,
See the blood run down my fingertips.

I gave it all for you, shed my skin for you,
I held you close when no one else would,
I paid the price, 'cause no one else could,
Was it the worldly love'
Was it the devil's kiss that took the smile from your ruby lips'

Higher, higher,
If you let me take your hand, I'll lead you from this lonely land,
I'll take you higher, higher,
If you let me,
Oh, if you let me.

I say, "Believe in me, I would set you free,"
I'll hold you close when no one else will,
I paid the price; it's me that they killed,
Was it the worldly love'
Was it the devil's kiss that took the smile from your ruby lips'

If you let me take your hand, I'll lead you from this lonely land,
I'll take you higher, higher,
If you let me,
Oh, if you let me,
Come on, come on,
Higher, higher, (worldly love, devil's kiss took the smile from your ruby lips)
Higher, higher. (worldly love, devil's kiss took the smile from your...)
