The House That Heaven Built Lyrics

When the soul of the city
Was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten
And left for deadIt happened at a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil
Disappears and diesWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellI settled in slowly
To this house which is a home
To blood and breath
Fair flesh and boneRush of our bodies
In the heat of the night
All day, the day after

Bled in the skiesWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellIt's a lifeless life
With no fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for anymore
So I must liveBorn of a bottle
From Edmonton
And now you know
And here I amWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellWhen they love you and they will (and they will!)
Tell them all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)
Tell them all to go to hellWhen they love me and they will (and they will!)
I'll tell them all they're loving your shadow
And if they try to slow me down (slow you down!)
I'll tell them all to go to hellWhen they love me and they will (and they will!)
I'll tell them all they're loving your shadow
And if they try to slow me down (slow you down!)
I'll tell them all to go to hell
