Lyrics
When the house was standing
During the time the house existed
You'd never have believed it
You wouldn't have believed what would happen
When the house was standing
During the time the house existed
You'd never have believed
You wouldn't have believed
The bricks and mortar
The physical structure of the house
Have all given way
Has completely collapsed
At first they resisted but then they began to sway
Initially, they resisted breaking down but eventually started to give way
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you confidently claim control over eternity?
How can you say the future's in the palm
How can you confidently claim to know the future?
In the palm of your hand
Suggesting the belief of controlling one's destiny
When the house was standing
During the time the house existed
You'd never have believed it
You wouldn't have believed what would happen
When the house was standing
During the time the house existed
You'd never have believed
You wouldn't have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
That what's now an empty space used to be a solid base
Where you stand now were tools in the basement
The place where you're standing used to store tools
How can you say forever is at your command
Questioning the certainty of controlling eternity
How can you say the future in the palm
Questioning the certainty of knowing the future
In the palm of your hand
Reiterating the idea of control over destiny
