The House That Pain Built

(album: Killing Joke - 1980)

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my blood
Oh why, why, wild insane

My faith (faith)
And my people
We'll howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my freedom
I'll never let it go again

Not any more
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
Yes my own will
Oh, see me through this pain

My faith (faith)
In my blood
And flow right through my vein

My faith (faith)
And no reason
I'll never be the same

Not anymore
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl the pain

My faith (faith)
And my freedom
I'll never let it go again

Not anymore
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain
