When the soul of the city was laid to rest

And the night forgotten and left for dead

I happened at a house built of living light

Where everything evil disappears and dies



When they love you and they will

Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down

Tell them all, to go to hell



I settled in slowly to this house that you call home

To blood and breath, fair flesh and bone

Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night

All day, the day after, reddened the skies



When they love you and they will

Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down

Tell them all, to go to hell



It's a lifeless life with no fixed address to give

But you're not mine to die for anymore, so I must live

Born of a bottle from heaven's hand

And now you know, and here I am



When they love you and they will

Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down

Tell them all, to go to hell



When they love me and they will

I'll tell them all, they'll love in your shadow

And if they try to slow me down

I'll tell them all, to go to hell
