When the morning breaks

And the grey dawn falls

Will my old man wake up ‘neath

The dying sun?

Watch the temples shake

Mansions to slums

Hear the killer sing you to sleep

As the ashes fall

They say it’s written in blood

It been chipped in stone

Say the cities are going to sink beneath

Fire and flood

Well, some wear crowns of thorns

Others of golden wire

Some of them want to see you live

Others will help you die

If your faith ain’t strong

House of the dying sun

There is the Astral Jehovah

Prophet and bastard heir

Just an orphan in this place

For 33 years

Come crucify the body to the powerline poles

On the boulevard tonight

Going to hang like a scarecrow

And sing…

No love, no love among you desperate men

Is there no love in the house of the dying sun?

I’ve come to seek asylum

Mutate in the gene pool

But all I’ve found here

Are slaves in the earth’s soil

Come crucify the body

To the powerline poles

On the boulevard tonight

Gonna hang like a scarecrow

And sing…

Bomaye

Is there no love

Amongst you desperate men?

Is there no love

In the House of the Dying Sun?
