This was a church, a hive full of prayer If he died now, I could tear it down There's thieves at the altar, a snake wears the crown, handing you coal, swearing it's gold Nothing's been done to this house of love, it's too late to turn the river above They say it's come and gone, we're all out of time The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine I'd turn things around, I would if I could Cast through the gates, break every chain Jail for the jailers, sing freedom's song, amazing grace Burn down this place Nothing's been done to this house of love, it's too late to turn the river above They say it's come and gone, we're all out of time The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine Look what they've done to this house of love Look what they've done to this house of love The devil's in the temple and he's making a mess Got the woman, he's got his hands up for dress The gun is in his hand but he ain't gonna confess, he lies Look what they've done to this house of love, it's too late to turn the river above They say it's come and gone, we're all out of time The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
