The Pretty Reckless - House On A Hill lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

We are living in an artificially induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep

The poor and the underclass are growing

Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent

They have created a repressive society and we are their unwitting accomplices

Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness

(Verse)

Somewhere in the end of all this hate

There's a light ahead

That shines into this gray that's in the end of all this pain

In the night ahead there's a light upon this

(Chorus)

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 their wine and they will, they will, they will

(Verse)

Somewhere in the end we're all insane

To think that 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

(Chorus)

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 their wine and they will, they will, they will

(Interlude)

I am not afraid

I won't burn out in this place

My intention is to fade and I will, I will

(Chorus)

In this house on a hill, the dead are living still

Their intention is to kill and they will, they will

Keep your children safe inside, out of pocket, out of mind

Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
