House of Seven Swords

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.

Strength and devotion come without warning

You know when you know what to do

No simple scheming, you should be sleeping

Sometimes you just can't think it through

And that's the way it is, love

Go whichever way you need to go

Nobody can tell you how to build

Your house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love

Together and yet still we're on our own

Nobody can tell us how to build

Our house of seven swords

Shamen won't tell you

The preacher will try to

You could take your time

Take a trip

Let your eyes see hidden things

Your heart beat like a drum

Your eyes see hidden things

Your heart beat like a drum

'Cause that's the way it is, love

Go whichever way you need to go

Nobody can tell you how to build

Our house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love

Together and yet still we're on our own

Nobody can tell us how to build

Our house of seven swords

Oo, oo, oo ah

That's the way it is, love

That's the way it is, love

Your house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love

Together and yet still we're on our own

Nobody can tell us how to build

Our house of seven swords
