[Verse] My oh my I met a man With a silver cross in his hand He said "Son It's time to come back home" My oh my What a sight to see A man who looks just like me Telling me "I know where you need to go" [Pre-Chorus] Where you need to go... Where you need to go... [Pre-Chorus] Where you need to go... Where you need to go... [Chorus] The house of the holy He said "Follow me It's a sight to see If you just open your mind" House of the holy That's where we met The root of all evil! [Verse 2] And all my life I've been taught There's a place you don't want to go It's hot! (It melts your flesh like wax!) Where the bad men go And all my life I've been told Be a good boy and do what you're told Just don't sell your soul [Pre-Chorus] Just don't sell your soul... Just don't sell your soul... [Chorus] The house of the holy He said "Follow me It's a sight to see If you just open your mind" House of the holy That's where we met The root of all evil! [Bridge] He laughs from the pulpit Teeth like knives “Brothers Sisters Come alive!” Halo tilted Eyes gone wide Something ancient looks inside Bodies swaying Sweat and smoke Rosaries as choking ropes Gospel turned to hungry groans... [Spoken Word] "And here... we make a heaven of hell... and a hell of heaven." [Chorus] The house of the holy He said "Follow me It's a sight to see If you just open your mind" House of the holy That's where we met The root of all evil!
