House Of God
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
No more decay
Glorious beauty had taken its place
But in horror... i watched as the wolf... began its skin to shed
I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next
To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart i never had
"i'll love you forever... never leave"
It was love at first sight, in true love there is no wrong or right
I didn't care from where she came, just her name... angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am i really not alone?
Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, i found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, i found... true love
"i'll love you forever... never leave"
To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart i never had
I didn't care from where she came, just her name... angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am i really not alone?
Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, i found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, i found... true love
Angel... angel... angel... angel where are you now?
