A psychedelic psermon of epic proportion.

lyrics

BURN YOUR BUILDING DOWN

House of light...house of sin...gotta know which house you're in
If there’s darkness all around - better burn your building down.

We go gently into the fold
which door opens when our stories are told?

Skies to hold me, calm enfold me
we're all going home.

Gold and silver have no place in a land that’s ruled by Grace.
If your building’s weighted down, better burn it to the ground.
House of light...house of sin...gotta know which house you're in
If there's darkness all around - better burn your building down.

Arms wide open, embrace the ride
which road you travel fate to decide

Skies to hold me, calm enfold me
we're all going home

Better hope that it's not too late, don't delay till you're at the gate
You can cling to your wealth unbound, or, burn your building down
House of light...house of sin...gotta know which house you're in
is there's darkness all around? Then burn your building down.

Dot all your i's and cross your t's
He is watching all your good deeds

Skies to hold me, calm enfold me
we're all going home

Better hope that it's not too late, don't delay till you're at the gate
if you cling to your wealth unbound...then greed shall make you drown
House of light? House of sin? Gotta know which house you're in
Is there darkness all around? Better burn your building down.
