    D#m
The seas have parted
    C#
The ending's started
      B                 A#
The sky has turned to black
  D#m                    C#
A killing spree through eternity
            B               A#
The Devil stabs you in the back

     D#m
It's midnight now,
           C#
you must escape somehow
 B              A#
Torture is his leisure
      D#m
Don't try to hide,
      C#
he'll make you subside
         B
As he exchanges
          A#
pain for pleasure

Chorus:
D#m       C#  D#m
Pain for pleasure
         D#m
He's the hunter,
            B  C#
you're the game
D#m       C#  D#m
Pain for pleasure
Satan is his
B   C# B C# B C# B D#m
name!
        D#m C# D#m
Look out!
