RAZORLIGHT lyrics : "THE HOUSE"

There's a full moon over this ancient town
A clock faced the colour of the sky
And every street that we walk down

Belongs to the house, where my father died

Where prisoners march in luck step with each other

Reavers test the limit of their reign
Dragging their dead weight from the other
While I claim my place, centre stage


I've been thrown by the thrashing of his going
Chained to his unseen stride

I've walked in luck step without knowing
My indifference, my only disguise


Now it comes through me like an injection
Anonymous pain throbbing reel inside
And every pulse in my body

Belongs to the house, where my father died

Won't catch his spirit in a candle

On alive finished guttering glow
And death comes through these streets like a scandal
Bent up and beaten, oh bitter body blow


And in bars and shaded back rooms
Those who can't cope just get high

But every place this drink takes me to
Belongs to the house, where my father died


And there's a full moon over this ancient town
Head lights numb the banner of the sky
Rain rages the steadings and the open ground

I'm a child fighting shadows with tears in my eyes

And the valley cannons and thunder

Trees blow beneath the bruising of the sky
Like centuries shield the lake from my wonder
And I'm as helpless as a child hiding from life


And the face from my mind is fading
I could old wounds for the very first time

Tonight there's going to be a reckoning
I'm entering the house, where my father die
