House On a Hill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill
And they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine
And they will, they will, they will
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
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill
And they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine
And they will, they will, they will
I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade and I will, I will
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 the wine
And they will, they will, they will
