House of Pain

Oh house of pain
you know no bounds
this house of sorrows
has let us down
oh house of shame
just let us be
this is no game
please set us free

house of pain
house of woe
if you love us
let us go

oh house of loneliness
a house of tears
a house of hatred 
that holds us near

bring back the joy
replace the pain
no more sorrow
no more shame

this little house
that knew so much
please give us peace
bring back the love......
