The Black House

Out of love with the world, into the arms of the cruel
In the daylight, I drown in her heart-shaped pool
In her palace of pink, inside her red leather hall
Were you ever to think you could welcome evil?

Come nightfall
I wanna hold you like a hammer in my hand
I wanna nail you on the cross at your command
Within the black house lies a secret, lord, it's true
The devil's got dark plans for you
Got dark plans for you

Laid upon an altar, crushed upon like a rose
The desires of men with horns and robes
Within a den of the dark, how would the neighbours know
Of a lust once shared from the depths below?

Come nightfall
I wanna hold you like a hammer in my hand
I wanna nail you on the cross at your command
Within the black house lies a secret, lord, it's true
The devil's got dark plans for you
Got dark plans for you

Come nightfall
I wanna hold you like a hammer in my hand
I wanna nail you on the cross at your command
I wanna hold you like a hammer in my hand
I wanna nail you on the cross at your command
Within the black house lies a secret, lord, it's true
The devil's got dark plans for you
Got dark plans for you
