Call me a liar, a king or a fool
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher the further we fall
Hard to remember

I will surrender and I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity

Hard to remember, and hard to forget
The shadow that hangs over me

Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion
And take away the shadow over me

Cry me a river but once [bad word] dry
Say there's a reason you do

Godless endeavors, smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you.

Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away the shadow over me

Under the starlight you shine in solitude
Eyes on the ocean and far beyond west of the moon

Take me home, to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
Over the hills

Home, to your house on a hill, to oblivion
Where souls never die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away the shadow over me!
