Текст песни The House - Max Charles

There's a haunted house at the top of a mountain
Has a cobblestone fountain filled with blood
The bones of our friends who have met their end
Lay at the entrance together in the mud
The house calls for war
We can't just ignore
It's tasted flesh it wants more
The house won't spare the gore
As our bodies hit the floor

The house wants more

The house calls for a sacrifice, and if we want to survive
It must be met by midnight, I advise you to close your eyes
You don't want to know, know who the house chose
You don't want to see your son and daughter's
Head on the porch for show
The angels cry as the end draws nigh
The house up high calls for me to die

Yao
The house wants more

In the yard with my name on it lays a hammock
The house has a bottomless pit for a stomach
It doesn't know where to end
The trees from which the hammock suspends are leaning in

My journey to the end is paused for a second
It's Ed, my best friend
He asks where I'm headed

I know it's best to lie
I don't think I can say goodbye
My brain says I'm just heading home
But my heart yells at him "I don't want to die"

We don't choose who the house picks
The house doesn't choose who the house picks
It's sick
The house doesn't even choose if the house picks anyone
Then why is there even a selection?
