Lyrics
This is the House
This is the house where I was transformed
Where once was a serpent
Where once was a slave
And this is the room where the martyrs were burned
Where once was a gallows
Where once was a grave
This is the house where I was desired
Where once was a stranger
Where once was a stray
And this is the room where the nightmares were sired
Where once was a warning
Where once was a way
Put bars on the windows
Put locks on the door
And tell the dear children
Don’t come round no more.
This is the house where I was absolved
Where once was a heathen
Where once was a whore
And this is the room where the shadows were called
Where once was a circle
Where once was a star
This is the house where I was devoured
Where once was a hunter
Where once was a horn
And this is the room where the bodies were stored
Where once was an orgy
Where once was a war
