House of the Lord

These wounds are inflicted

By the atrocities upon this world

Numerous lifetimes of burning

Before they get old



Rejected by the traits of life

I roam these streets, so fiercely alone



I found a window of forgiven credit

I have no ego to sit and beg

It is the Lord that gives and then he forgives



Little did I know

My fortune and my fate

Would catch up to me

As they took away my place



I left the house of the Lord

Tired, hungry and chilled to the bone

Into the darkness of burning fire

Careful of the sleeping ashes

Of the night before
