House of Keys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A beacon called to me With bills in the belfry An angel watched history sell The ringing bells of make believe I met a stranger, worn to worse Broken by the storm, who cursed; "Look into the mirror first You are the same but in reverse" Extra extra, see the words They wrote upon the world You tell your story through a pane Of glass nobody heard [Verse 2] The clock struck none before They passed me through another door A herald painted gracefully In Imperium's gallery Everything started to look like money The art, that charming capitulation The music sounds like desperation Buy me, play me, pay me honey My tender archipelago Just a speck through the window The better you less you see, you know (Post No) Bill's stuck in limbo! Stuck in limbo! [Verse 3] The paint flaked to reveal Black steel beams underneath Tanks lit for delightful wars In never ending iron halls Behind the final door where nevermore Hangs heaven's word for thee An instrument played by the wind Made by the masterpiece-machine [Chorus] The holy House of Keys Fortifies techdromedes Only time will tell you when to live And when to die [Chorus] The holy House of Keys Fortifies techdromedes Only time will tell you when to live And when to die
