House on Fire Songtext
von Gooding

Out in the West
Where the sky has a sound
A house filled with hate
Burned to the ground
Love hear me shout
I′m calling you down
Where are you now
Where are you now

Out in the East
Where the sea won't forget
He′s breathing the tide
He's down with the ship
There sits the bride
In a chair all alone
Why won't he come home
Why won′t he come home


God can you hear me
Where do we go
The waiting is murder and I′ve nothing to show
Nothing to give now and nothing to get
This house is on fire
This house is on fire

Out in the plains
Where the sky eats the land
All that was green
Turning to sand
The prayers for the rain
From the emptiest hands
How much more can we stand

God can you hear me
Where do we go
The waiting is murder and I've nothing to show
Nothing to give now and nothing to get
This house is on fire
This house is on fire

Don′t you know
It's getting so hard to believe
If this is your mercy
I′m not sure I want to receive


God can you hear me
Where do we go
The waiting is murder and I've nothing to show
Nothing to give now and nothing to get
This house is on fire
This house is on

God can you hear me
Where do we go
The waiting is murder and I′ve nothing to show
Nothing to give now and nothing to get
This house is on fire
This house is on fire
