A song by the wonderful Florence and the Machine!
I went to one of her concerts after the album Ceremonials was released and I absolutely adore it. I have fond memories of seeing her performing live on stage. This woman is such an inspiration to me.
Now for my video; as you may have noticed I recorded it with the karaoke app Smule.
This allows me to create a videoclip and gives me access to a wide variety of songs as well as mic effects. These are five full takes, which means I sat down and sang (parts of) the whole song five times to get the choir effect and of course the harmony. I could only redo these in their entirety so if I screwed up anywhere I had to start all over again. 😉
I hope you enjoy! 😃
Lyrics
Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I have to burn
Your kingdom down
Holy water cannot help you now
See I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out
Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
And now all your lies will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be a paradox
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a final cry
It's a symphony
Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I save your heart
And I take your soul
For what has been done
Can not be undone
In the evil heart
In the evil soul
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
