House of the Ruin Lyrics

Oh the latter days go by

In the House of the Ruin

Roman heroes in the sky

And the carnival is burning

In favor with the gods

And walk it two by two

I'll be the other next to you

In the bellow of the night

While the Mona Lisa wonders

About the big old world outside

And the spell that she's been under

Shoot an arrow through her heart

In the Garden of Dismay

Live forever in a day

Mmm

I don't know why I don't care

Keep the wolves in your eyes

When the mountains are shaking

Proserpina wants to cry

Ain't a fine way of breaking

Sing Aurora to the moon child

Go and make your mother proud

Keep your head up in the clouds

And tell St. Augustine he's right

About the great expectations

While Estella takes a ride

At the London Station

Oh two lovers in a hotel

Order service to the room

Alberta's missing me and you

Mmm

Mmm

I don't know why I don't care

I don't see you anywhere

All the windows open wide

In the back of a car

And you never pay no mind

To how long or how far

Keep running in the distance

It's a balance of your fate

It's never early or too late

Mmm

Mmm

I don't know why I don't care

I don't see you anywhere

Oh the latter days go by

In the house of the ruin

Mmm

Mmm
