Harmony Hall Songtext
von Switchfoot

We took a vow in summertime
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year′s Eve
Will be the perfect time for the great surrender
But they don't remember

Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize ′til they can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends, another one begins

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don′t wanna live like this
But I don′t wanna die


Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna live like this
But I don′t wanna die
Oh, no, no

Within the halls of power lies
A nervous heart that beats like a young pretender
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender
'Cause I still remember that

Anger wants a voice
And voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize ′til they can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin′
But every time a problem ends, another one begins

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die


Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don′t wanna live like this
But I don′t wanna die

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don′t wanna die

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
