[Verse]
There is a house in shadowed flame
They call the rising sun
A place where sinners carve their names
Where ruin’s just begun
[Chorus]
Oh rise and burn rise and burn
The house of the rising sun
Oh rise and burn rise and burn
This hell can't be undone
[Verse 2]
My mother prayed on broken knees
My father drank the night
This house it swallowed all their pleas
And turned their dark to spite
[Prechorus]
Steel strings scream in the blackened air
No mercy waits down there
[Chorus]
Oh rise and burn rise and burn
The house of the rising sun
Oh rise and burn rise and burn
The flames eat everyone
[Bridge]
The walls they weep the floors they groan
Chains rattle in the halls
No one leaves no one’s alone
The devil makes the calls
