Arson
This house has stood for far too long
An insult to the scenery
So as the embers climb and touch the sky
You will breathe easily
This house has stood for far too long
So desolate, abandoned
You'll enter armed with angst and fire
And walk out empty handed
So bring a brick to breach the windows
Kerosene to douse the halls
And send that fucker up in smoke
Till there's nothing left at all
It's not so easy making ashes out of mansions
They'll easily make an example out of you
They took you away
Tied up your hands
Threw you to the jury, tried as a man
They built you a cell
You planned your defense
I can't bear to see you there on the stand
There on the stand
The hounds are tearing at your flesh
Identifying all your flaws
And categorically denying any part of this they caused
They say you're socially unfit
They say you'll get what you deserve
But I know your intentions were so innocent at first
And I heard you reached the point
Where you realized what went wrong
But that's when...
They took you away
They tied up your hands
Threw you to the jury
But how could they understand?
They built you a cell
(This house has stood for far too long)
In vain, you planned your defense
(This house has stood for far too long)
I can't bear this feeling, seeing you there on the stand
(This house has stood for far too long)
There on the stand
An insult to the scenery
So as the embers climb and touch the sky
You will breathe easily
This house has stood for far too long
So desolate, abandoned
You'll enter armed with angst and fire
And walk out empty handed
So bring a brick to breach the windows
Kerosene to douse the halls
And send that fucker up in smoke
Till there's nothing left at all
It's not so easy making ashes out of mansions
They'll easily make an example out of you
They took you away
Tied up your hands
Threw you to the jury, tried as a man
They built you a cell
You planned your defense
I can't bear to see you there on the stand
There on the stand
The hounds are tearing at your flesh
Identifying all your flaws
And categorically denying any part of this they caused
They say you're socially unfit
They say you'll get what you deserve
But I know your intentions were so innocent at first
And I heard you reached the point
Where you realized what went wrong
But that's when...
They took you away
They tied up your hands
Threw you to the jury
But how could they understand?
They built you a cell
(This house has stood for far too long)
In vain, you planned your defense
(This house has stood for far too long)
I can't bear this feeling, seeing you there on the stand
(This house has stood for far too long)
There on the stand
