Songwriters Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips wrote “House on a Hill” after hearing a lecture on the Vietnam War.
We are being taught to act and think in a certain way. Even though we think we are autonomous and we believe we know what is going on, we are being controlled by the government and societa...
[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
[Chorus 1]
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine and they will, they will, they will
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the end we're all insane
To think a light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light up on this
[Chorus 1]
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink the wine and they will, they will, they will
[Verse 3]
I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade and I will, I will
In this
[Chorus 2]
House on a hill
The dead are living still
With intentions to kill and they will, they will
Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind
Until they drink the wine and they will, they will, they will
