We Built This House

We built this house With bricks and blood We knew the cost And we died in the dark So you could live In the light In the hardest moments Tears fell from our eyes Innocence ripped from us The world is cruel So we were taught To be crueler To build a future A better future For you For me For us We built this house With bricks And blood
