Lyrics
Call me a liar, a king, or a fool
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher, the farther 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 you are 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 love for life, 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

ke me home
To a house on a hill
In Oblivion
Where souls never die
All alone
You love for life, not for sympathy
Over the years

Home
To your house on a hill
To Oblivion
Where souls never die
All alone
You love for life, not for sympathy
So take away the shadow over me
