Jorn - House Of Cards lyrics

rate me

[Jorn Lande/Tore Moren]

It's late at night

And I'm watching the news

There's blood on the screen

And I felt guilty somehow

Escaping from reality

When I close my eyes

Don't wanna see them die

Hear the children cry

There's been so much trouble

Too many sad songs have been played

And when you think you've found something real

It's suddenly so deceiving

Hard to believe in changes

It's a faded paradise

And I'm running out of strength

In this house made of cards

Smoke is rising

Playing in the fire

Change the mode - crack the code

Power overload

SOS - Emergency

No one seems to find the key

I've been seeking my fortune

For too many years

Living on the edge - racing time

But it never took me far

Never got to reach that star

And I'm running out of strength

In this house made of cards

Smoke is rising

Playing in the fire

Change the mode - crack the code

Power overload

SOS - Emergency

Will we ever find the key

What will the future be

I wanna see

We are living on the dark side

In a cold time - searching for the light

Stranded - and we will stand the fight

Must be hope in sight

The wind will blow and seeds will grow

And I know that someday we'll be there

In this house made of cards

Smoke is rising

Playing in the fire

Change the mode - crack the code

Power overload

SOS - Emergency

Gotta find the key

Save me - want me

These are stormy days

Playing in the fire

We are living on the dark side

In a cold time - searching for the light
