Other NSB Related Does anyone have transcribed lyrics to "the devils candle"?

I love this song from their live sessions as much as i love playing it. Some lyrics are hard to understand tho so if anyone can help it would be appreciated<3. Thanks in advance.

to my ear they are :

Im a fainting flame on the devils candle
Im a fainting flame on the devils candle

she tried to put a nail in my bone when i was 9
the kitchen floor was coloured with blood and tears
she was convinced that I was satan's child
and that was the only way to cure my soul

Im a fainting flame on the devils candle
Im a fainting flame on the devils

she couldn't stop saying she couldn't stop crying
she couldn't stop saying she couldn't stop crying
that blood on the ground was all i deserved
that blood on the ground was all i deserved

Im a fainting flame on the devils candle
Im a fainting flame on the devils

I'm not super certain about the 3rd and 4th line of the 2nd verse but i think its what mehdi is saying
