House of Pain
Oh house of pain
you know no bounds
this house of sorrows
has let us down
oh house of shame
just let us be
this is no game
please set us free
house of pain
house of woe
if you love us
let us go
oh house of loneliness
a house of tears
a house of hatred
that holds us near
bring back the joy
replace the pain
no more sorrow
no more shame
this little house
that knew so much
please give us peace
bring back the love......
