The House of Lies
Hexenhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The righteous ones
Leave the error of your ways
Wayward child
Put your trust in our hands
Join the blind
We bring violence with a purpose
What do you know?
Welcome to the house of lies
Welcome to the house of lies
I see through you and all your kind
Malicious breed
I know that your aims are false
A pack of lies
The trust of people that you have earned
Undeserved
The price is paid in our blood
Genocide
Welcome to the house of lies
Welcome to the house of lies
Welcome to the house of lies
Welcome to the house of lies
I will never see, see like you
I will never think, think like you
I will never be, be what you are
We pay a fair price for your quest
What do you say?
Hear nothing, see nothing
Close your eyes
Welcome to our land of plenty
You will never die
Utopia behind iron bars
Land of the free?
Welcome, welcome to the house of lies
Welcome, welcome to the house of lies
Welcome, welcome to the house of lies
Welcome to the house of lies
The lyrics of Hexenhaus's song The House of Lies critique the idea of blind faith and the manipulation of people by those in power. The song begins with an invitation to those who are lost or misguided to join the "righteous ones" and leave their "error of [their] ways". However, the following lines reveal the true intention of these self-proclaimed leaders - to bring "violence with a purpose", implying that the end justifies the means. The chorus, "Welcome to the house of lies", is a powerful statement that challenges the audience to question the motivations of those who claim to have the answers.
The second verse is a direct attack on these leaders, calling them a "malicious breed" with false aims and a pack of lies. They have earned the trust of the people undeservedly and the price paid for this trust is "genocide". The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the deceitful nature of this house of lies, and the final verse paints a bleak picture of the consequences of blindly following such leaders. The utopia promised is nothing but an illusion, and the people are trapped behind "iron bars" with no hope of escaping.
Overall, The House of Lies is a warning against blind faith and the dangers of following leaders without questioning their motives. By inviting the audience to enter "the house of lies", Hexenhaus challenges them to recognize and resist manipulation.
