House of Light

Take a long look around There’s too much commotion in this town Viper on the street as thick as thieves They all say they want out but no one leaves You might caress the holy stone You may worship some poor fool’s paper throne You can wire up all it takes You’ll just end up one of nature’s little mistakes When things aren’t quite as they seem You cannot find your way You’ve lost that golden dream Meet me on the road I will share your heavy load We’ll be safe there tonight In the house of light You may think your life is cursed You might know you’re gonna die at sea of thirst You might always be ignored You may never strike a sympathetic chord When things don’t amount to much Your hopes are all washed up You’ve lost your golden touch Meet me on the road I will share your heavy load We’ll be bathed in white At the house of light Take a good look around There’s nothin but confusion goin’ down All the stories have been sold There’s no innocence or love to behold Lift me up take me to the house of light Lift me up so I can see
