Burn This House / Hourglass
In the church upon the hill
They sing hallelujah still
And if it's in his name you kill
Then that's ok
But when they've woken from their sleep
They'll see the price has risen steep
But they think that life is cheap
So they won't pay
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
And the good book doesn't teach
That nothing's out of reach
But I think I kind of knew
That anyway
And when I found your set of keys
I hung them in the trees
I heard them on the breeze
Just yesterday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
Oooooo
So let's burn
This house
To the ground
Today
Shall we burn
This house
To the ground
Then walk away
And time keeps passing us by
The hourglass won't tell us why
And time keeps passing us by
The hourglass won't tell us why
Let's just turn it around
One last time
They sing hallelujah still
And if it's in his name you kill
Then that's ok
But when they've woken from their sleep
They'll see the price has risen steep
But they think that life is cheap
So they won't pay
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
And the good book doesn't teach
That nothing's out of reach
But I think I kind of knew
That anyway
And when I found your set of keys
I hung them in the trees
I heard them on the breeze
Just yesterday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
I'm gonna burn
This house
To the ground
Someday
Oooooo
So let's burn
This house
To the ground
Today
Shall we burn
This house
To the ground
Then walk away
And time keeps passing us by
The hourglass won't tell us why
And time keeps passing us by
The hourglass won't tell us why
Let's just turn it around
One last time
