Lyrics for House Of Wolves as interpreted by AbsolutionAgent_gMs

House Of Wolves Lyrics
Well
I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be grantin' your permission
'Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said hey hey, hallelujah
I wanna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

(Say it lover say it) x4

You play ring around the ambulance
Like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley
'Cause they're never gonna find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

And I should say, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So get up
So get down

Yes I, yes I, yes I am

Is anyone else mesmerised by how Gerard rolls his words on the second "ashes to ashes".

I'm keen on that too in "This Jetset Life Is Going To Kill You".

I agree with the church suggestions, i think that the patient is either visiting a priest or a confessional before he dies.

"And I'll be grantin' your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer"

He needs the permission of God to confess sins and he thinks that there is no hope in hell for him.

I think that he's regretting almost everything that he's done, telling himself he's going to Hell, but he wants his lover to tell him he's an angel, so he can have some comfort before he dies.

Everytime I hear this song, when he says, "Take This To My Grave," It reminds me of Fall Out Boy, because of their album, Take This To Your Grave. And then when I hear "Well I Think I'm Gonna Burn In Hell" I automatically think about the Misfit's Astro Zombie. It's a good song and all, but it seems to remind me of every band BUT My Chemical Romance. The first time I heard it, I swore I'd heard those same lyrics before in a mash of different songs just rearranged. But that's just me, MCR is still my favourite band, I bought the album, and I

The beginning sounds like "Supermodel Robots" by The Network(Green Day's side project), and also "I Want Candy". Also the lyrics to this song fucking suck ass.

it sounds like the song that chips-ahoy used to use as their theme song . . . LOL

well, gerard said that as the patient died, his life flashed before his eyes and the songs on the cd are those images he saw .. .

pesonaly, I believe that he is remembering a time he went to confession in his life and told he priest something and the priest freaked out and kicked him out of the church. and he's worried about going to hell because of that day.

it could also be talking about thinking impure thoughts in church.

either way it's great. : )

the patient saying 'guess what im evil adn im going to hell baby' people keep calling him an angel (like the things people say at funerals) and he's like, damnit, no, kick me like a slave, u know better than that. or that people like his widow, keep chaing their minds about him, bad bad man or angel? him facing his existance in hell and angry at those that can't accept this.

I never really liked this song when I first heard it but it's totally grown on me. It must just be one of those songs...

I love the sound of the guitars before 'You better run like the devil ' It sounds so familiar ARGH.

This is my favourite song off the album, I love the lyrics, the music, everything! Especially the chorus. KickMeLikeAStray13 - I thought it was "Yes I am" but it does sound a lot like "S-I-N" which is much cooler. XD

Some minor corrections:
I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to [spare]
[...]
Chorus:
[And say] what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a [stray]

[...]

[You play] ring around the ambulance
[Well like you] never gave a care
So get the choirboys [around you]
It's a compliment, I swear
[...]
I said ashes to ashes we all fall down
[We got innocence for days]

You better [run] like the devil 'cause they're never gonna leave you [alone]
You better [hide up] in the alley 'cause they're never gonna find you a home
[...]
I've been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

[chorus]

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man x4

So get up!
So get out!
Yes I am, yes I am!

If any of you have read the book that comes with the special edition of TBP, you'll know about the hotel they stayed at and how completely depressing it was, and how it brought all of them down. Well this song was basicly written about it "House" of wolves, Gerard also says he always saw the devil as being a pair of Wolves, so "The Devils House" or "House of Evil"= "House of Wolves"

I think that by saying "ashes to ashes, we all fall down" it's a refference to the plague?

i think its "everybody burn in hell somday" not everybody burn the house down...but i could but be ignorant...

also i agree with the priest idea and I think that the Patient thinks that he knows more about god...and the first line is almost mocking as if hes saying...yeah i know more than you ever will about saying sorry....

also I LOVE how gerald rolls his tounge on the 2nd Ashes

-KickMeLikeAStray13


The first time I heard it, I thought they were saying "I wish I may, I wish I may," but it doesn't fit, now I see. I feel like a fool for that. x]

I think it's "Oh yes I am, oh yes I am,"

And by the way, the tounge roll is VERY sexy. ;]

a lot of the lyrics are wrong... some corrections are "ive got enough to SPARE" not say, "we got innocence FOR DAYS" not today, "kick me like a STRAY" not slave, and the middle bit say "You better run like the devil cause theyre never gonna leave you alone"... dont you have ears? lol

I think it's about sleeping with groupies. I mean, yeah, he claims not to do it, but uh, the chances that it's NEVER happened are slim at best. It sounds like a guilty sort of "so? sue me". But that's just my take on it.
