Matisyahu - Temple lyrics

When the house was burned We returned to the desert and mourned Son's slaughtered, daughter's raped Like they closed the drapes Gone away are the sun's rays And the days when our children play Now they been crushed like grapes There ain't no escape This is your place, this is your kingdom This is your face, broken reflection We're burning in a burnt down house We burned this house a long time ago Silent victim from bite of regret Sick with a symptom of a name we forget Forgotten skeleton, no dignity left Unforgiven, we are forgotten So Fill with the venom of an ancient fire that burned our kingdom The day the high priest sang the anthem This is your place, this is your kingdom This is your face, broken reflection Who have we become, what will we become? One day the moon will shine like the sun And our hearts will feel the love and be numb Take out your drum and your harps to strum This is your place, this is your kingdom This is your face, broken reflection We're burning in a burnt down house We burned this house a long time ago
