House of the Ruin

Oh the latter days go by
In the House of the Ruin
Roman heroes in the sky
And the carnival is burning
In favor with the gods
And walk it two by two
I'll be the other next to you
In the bellow of the night
While the Mona Lisa wonders
About the big old world outside
And the spell that she's been under
Shoot an arrow through her heart
In the Garden of Dismay
Live forever in a day
Mmm

I don't know why I don't care
Keep the wolves in your eyes
When the mountains are shaking
Proserpina wants to cry
Ain't a fine way of breaking
Sing Aurora to the moon child
Go and make your mother proud
Keep your head up in the clouds
And tell St. Augustine he's right
About the great expectations
While Estella takes a ride
At the London Station
Oh two lovers in a hotel
Order service to the room
Alberta's missing me and you
Mmm
Mmm
I don't know why I don't care
I don't see you anywhere

All the windows open wide
In the back of a car
And you never pay no mind
To how long or how far
Keep running in the distance
It's a balance of your fate
It's never early or too late
Mmm
Mmm
I don't know why I don't care
I don't see you anywhere

Oh the latter days go by
In the house of the ruin
Mmm
Mmm
