Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead that shines into this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead, there's a light upon this
[Verse 2]
House on a hill
The living living still
Their intention is to kill
And they will, they will
But the children are doin' fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine
And they will, they will, they will
[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the end, we're all insane
To think a light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead, there's a light upon this
[Verse 4]
House on a hill
The living living still
Their intention is to kill
And they will, they will
But the children are doin' fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine
And they will, they will, they will
[Verse 5]
I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade
And I will, I will
[Verse 6]
In this house on a hill
The dead are living still
With intentions to kill
And they will, they will
Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind
Until they drink the wine
And they will, they will, they will
