PART 1: SUNRISE There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God knows that I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's all a-drunk PART 2: NOON (Instrumental) PART 3: SUNSET I got one foot on the station Got one foot on the train I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain So mothers tell your children Don't do what I have done Don't spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun

Bone dry, the Earth has died Your soul is lost , you've lost your mind And you've lost the love for life you had In those long lost days that flowed like sand Oh, so fast through the hourglass Ah, how the time has passed But you, you're forgotten and entombed Like a king under a car park You played the game, you rolled the dice Moved the pieces, sacrificed The lives of pawns and questing knights Across the board you felt your eyes locked Hard fast to your nemesis Felt deep cathartic bliss As you pit your eager wit Against a mirror and a monster Now daggers drawn and axes high The shrieks of soldiers split the sky And your arrogance forces your hand As you realize your reckless plan has caught You in the grasp of your enemies Who cut you down and rewrite histories to read "He's a killer, he's a king he's a cripple he's a hunchback"
