[Verse 1]
This was a church
A house full of prayer
It ain't that now
I could tear it down
There's thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown
Handing you coal, swearing it's gold

[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine

[Verse 2]
I'd turn things around
I would if I could
Crash through the gates
Break every chain
Jail for the jailers
Sing freedom's song
Amazing grace
Burn down this place

[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine

[Bridge]
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 Mona Lisa, got his hands up her dress
The gun is in his hand, but he ain't gonna confess
He lies

[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
Ah, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Oh, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Ah, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
