Strength and devotion come without warning
00:00
You know when you know what to do
00:07
No simple scheming you should be sleeping
00:14
Sometimes you just can't think it through
00:20
And that's the way it is love
00:28
Go whichever way you need to go
00:31
Nobody can tell you how to build
00:33
Your house of seven swords
00:38
That's the way it is love
00:41
Together and yet still we're on our own
00:44
Nobody can tell us how to build
00:47
Our house of seven swords
00:51
Shamen won't tell you
00:53
The preacher will try to
00:56
You could take your time
00:59
Take a trip
01:02
Let your eyes see hidden things
01:06
Your heart beat like a drum
01:09
Your eyes see hidden things
01:12
Your heart beat like a drum
01:16
'Cause that's the way it is love
01:20
Go whichever way you need to go
01:23
Nobody can tell you how to build
01:27
Your house of seven swords
01:30
That's the way it is love
01:33
Together and yet still we're on our own
01:36
Nobody can tell us how to build
01:39
Our house of seven swords
01:43
That's the way it is love
02:10
Your house of seven swords
02:20
That's the way it is love
02:23
Together and yet still we're on our own
02:26
Nobody can tell us how to build
02:29
Our house of seven swords
02:33

[English]
Strength and devotion come without warningYou know when you know what to do
No simple scheming you should be sleeping
Sometimes you just can't think it through
And that's the way it is love
Go whichever way you need to go
Nobody can tell you how to build
Your house of seven swords
That's the way it is love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords
Shamen won't tell you
The preacher will try to
You could take your time
Take a trip
Let your eyes see hidden things
Your heart beat like a drum
Your eyes see hidden things
Your heart beat like a drum
'Cause that's the way it is love
Go whichever way you need to go
Nobody can tell you how to build
Your house of seven swords
That's the way it is love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords
That's the way it is love
Your house of seven swords
That's the way it is love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords
