The House That Heaven Built lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the soul of the city
Was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten and left for dead
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I happened on a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil disappears and dies
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Hook]
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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
I settled in slowly, to this house that you call home
To blood and breath, fear, flesh and bone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night
All day the day after, reddened the skies
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
