House Money |
LyricsHOUSE MONEYCopyright 2017 Parvin & Patterson I come from a place where life is cheap Where graves are shallow and the hate runs deep If it can kill you I've done it twice I send fools to their paradise Chorus: Oh exaltation - at the gates of Hell For the soldier of fortune and the infidel I don't bend, I don't bow I'm playing with house money now I fought in the dust of the desert and dunes Laid waste to the temple, left it in ruins I live in the shadow of the burned and the black Feel the heat from the blast but I never look back Oh proclamations - from the gates of Hell The moan of the drone and the toll of the bell They don't bend, they don't bow They're playing with house money now House money now... I go to a place where all debts are paid Deeds are recorded and words are weighed You won't find it in your book of prayers But I'd bet your life that I will see you there Oh salutations - from the gates of Hell No sanctuary in the citadel We don't bend, we don't bow We're all playing with house money now House money now yeah... |
