When the soul of the city Was laid to rest And the nights forgotten and left for dead I happened on a house Built of living light Where everything evil disappears and dies When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell I settled in slowly, to this house that you call home To blood and breath, fear, flesh and bone Well shove our bodies in the heat of the night All day the day after, blood in the skies When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell Its a lifeless life, with no fixed address to give But your not mine to die for anymore So I must live Born of a bottle, from heavens hand And now you know and here I am When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell When the love Me and they will I'll tell em all the love in your shadow And if they try to slow me down I'll tell em all to go to hell When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell When they love you, and they will Tell em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell em all to go to hell
