House Of Exile lyrics with English Translations
There's a day of feasting and a day of famine
Day of sadness and a day of joy
You could see in the day of feasting
Life isn't just a little play-like toy
So the day arrived when you least expected Now you feel like a fish out of water So now you're wondering what's the matter
Oh, remember you said it wouldn't happen to you Now you're thinking how to start anew A drowning man will catch at a straw You were warned but you wouldn't take heed
Everything in creation must obey a law Its true in words as it is in deed You were so puffed up in your pomps and pride Now you're exposed, you got none to hide
Yes, you used to look down on the folks beside you Never did think you would a come down too
Remember they said you got to reap what you sow Simple truth everybody know
Oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile Yes, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile
Oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile Oh, oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile
Everything in creation must obey a law Its true in words as it is in deed
So the day arrived when you least expected Now you feel like a fish out of water So now you're wondering what's the matter
Oh, remember you said it wouldn't happen to you Now you're thinking how to start anew A drowning man will catch at a straw You were warned but you wouldn't take heed
Everything in creation must obey a law Its true in words as it is in deed You were so puffed up in your pomps and pride Now you're exposed, you got none to hide
Yes, you used to look down on the folks beside you Never did think you would a come down too
Remember they said you got to reap what you sow Simple truth everybody know
Oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile Yes, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile
Oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile Oh, oh, what are you on a house of exile Watching you now on your own last mile
Everything in creation must obey a law Its true in words as it is in deed
