Burned Down Songtext
von Reid Genauer

Burned down but not forgotten
The walls were sturdy but the floor was rotten
Men like phantoms moving in the cold
Men like phantoms move

Well, this is the house that silence built
This is the place where she takes her shelter
I know the game she plays
Lays down the hand that a hard life dealt her

Mr. Mule Skinner, you can call this house your home
You come as stranger but you seldom leave alone
Hearing accusations from yourself
You can hear them from yourself

Well, this is the house that silence built
This is the place where she takes her shelter
I know the game she plays
Lays down the hand that a hard life dealt her


This is what I′m saying
She built the house of praying
Oh Lord, this is what I'm saying
She built the house of praying
This is what I′m saying
She built the house of praying

Hey, raise high the roof beams, everyone
Choose your words wisely and be done
You're hearing accusations from yourself
You can hear them from yourself

Well, this is the house that silence built
This is the place where she takes her shelter
I know the game she plays
Lays down the hand that a hard life dealt her

Standing on the slope of an icy roof
You can amble out but your answers are aloof
A month of hungry Sundays in a row
You can find them in a row, don't you know


This is the house that silence built
This is the place where she takes her shelter
I know the game she plays
Lays down the hand that a hard life dealt her
This is the house that silence built
This is the place where she takes her shelter
I know the game she plays
Lays down the hand that a hard life dealt her

She lays it down
She plays it down
She lays it down
And she plays around
She lays it down
And she plays around
She lays it down
And she plays around

Come, come, come, come, come on in
Come, come, come, come, come on in
Come, come, come, come, come on in
Come, come, come, come, come on in
Playing cards you cannot win
Burned down but not forgotten
