House On The Hill

Down here the wind blows
 But it only fans the flames
 Kickin' up the dirt
 And stirrin' up the shame
 While through the palace walls
 It's a cool breeze like a dream
 No trace of the madness or the
 Sorrow that it's seen
 House on the hill
 On shaky ground it stands
 Built from the blood of the Earth and man
 You see it from the beaches
 When they're far below its walls
 The time is unrelenting
 Brutal in its course
 And the house on the hill
 Will come fallin' down
 Those within these walls
 See what life is on the ground
 And the time to change the flow
 But no barriers of gold
 Save the house on the hill (2x)
 There's some around that say
 That a match cannot burn twice
 But I'm waitin' for the day when the fire turns to ice
 They're way up in the tower
 But they're never lookin' down
 I'm gonna take them from behind
 Steal the rubies from their crown
 And the house on the hill...
