Carlton, Vanessa - House Of Seven Swords Lyrics






Strength and devotion come without warning
You know when you know what to do
No simple scheming, you should be sleeping
Sometimes you just can't think it through

And that's the way it is, love
Go whichever way you need to go
Nobody can tell you how to build
Your house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords

Shamen won't tell you
The preacher will try to
You could take your time
Take a trip

Let your eyes see hidden things
Your heart beat like a drum
Your eyes see hidden things
Your heart beat like a drum

'Cause that's the way it is, love
Go whichever way you need to go
Nobody can tell you how to build
Our house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords

Oo, oo, oo... ah

That's the way it is, love
That's the way it is, love
Your house of seven swords

That's the way it is, love
Together and yet still we're on our own
Nobody can tell us how to build
Our house of seven swords

    Imagine she got down with these fire ass beats... it doesn’t feel like it’s been 2015 I always think this album came out last year god damn every time . I swear it was not 2015 thinking her beats are fire and imagining how sick these songs would be if it had more bam pop to it. I still love the songs but I can see a summer time sadness version of this song

    The first time I heard this, I put it on repeat and just cried for fifteen minutes. I don't understand.

  18. V.... M....

    then and now. she's different. she's art.

  19. G.... 1....

    This song is amazing 😍

  20. A.... P....

    It's so cute to see you and your daughter, Sidney in this music video that was released 2 years ago. I hope that you were intelligent enough to be gentle when you held her during the music video shoot.

    A.... P....

    Andrea Patane intelligent enough wtf

    keep doing these..!! ^^

  24. N.... ....

    This song is beautiful.

  25. B.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs of yours. I also loved the story
    behind its inspiration that you told when I first heard it at Zanzabar
    in Louisville, Kentucky a couple of years ago.

  26. A.... A....

    Was watching her live with New York Times today. You could tell she's been through a lot emotionally---and that when it comes to music, which is obviously her greatest passion, she really doesn't fuck around with it.

  27. R.... M....

    the song was good and so was the video until the baby came along and ruined it. please do not show ugly baby pictures or the baby live. thank you. i'm not watching any videos that contain children especially babies. they must be sent to camp green lake or worse.

  28. Y.... M....

    Vanessa Carlton is an amazing singer songwriter and a great pianist. What a great dreamy song and quite peace video. Love it ! Huge kisses from France Vanessa <3

  29. L.... m....

    yeah?=♥ ♥

  30. s.... h....

    I absolutely love that her baby is in this video with her! She is so unique and will forever be one of my favorite artists

  31. g.... b....

    I listen to this album for the first time on a trans atlantic flight, it was amazing

  32. A.... c....

    Ya se ISO viejita

    A.... c....

    La recuerdo la canción de manino la que iba en el piano

  33. B.... ....

    You should check out Maria GoJa "uncertainty" an amazing piano based songwriter!

  34. B.... ....

    I think I just found my future children's lullaby

  35. F.... r....

    Her songs are art

  36. L.... L....

    Her music is so chill....

  37. w.... ....

    This needs so much more love/attention. It's beautiful. I'm so glad I bought this album, the songs are amazing and so calming.

    w.... ....

    68k views... baffling. There are fart videos on youtube with 10x the views.

  38. l.... ....

    Sid! <3

  39. E.... O....

    The more I listen to any song on this album, the more I like it.

  40. b.... ....

    just bought the vinyl, seriously one of the most under-rated artists of our time.

  41. J.... Z....

    He will never /Cheat on U ..... =\

    J.... Z....

    I still / have ... i,c,b,m, .......

  42. R.... G....

    My friend Dark Angels wishis to return to the Heavens. To sail the darkness of the Cosmos just as his other mother the Goddess had done long ago. I think he his a funny man but anything goes when it comes to the USA. He wants a Japan Girl White and Black. Salt and Pepper.

  43. R.... G....

    My friend Dark Angels had said he has been looking for the perfect dark haired women with pale skin. A snow white, white moon, Goddess.

  44. R.... G....

    Robert's friend Dark Angels says Swords over Guns. Swords, mine I would like to place in her cute body.

  45. G.... A....

    BEAUTIFUL SONG AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE, GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA.

  46. R.... F....

    i miss her old music so bad. does anyone know a singer who has the kind of vanessa carlton's old music? and even the voice maybe?

    R.... F....

    +radit muhammad you could try listening to some Vienna Teng. idk if she really has the same kind of music, i'm not good at judging stuff like that, but their music does remind me of each other at least. and she has a really good voice too.

    R.... F....

    Why can't you appreciate the singer who's responsible for the kind feelings you had before? Styles and lyrics will always change moving forward, but the same person is still there. And maybe when you're not beholden to the past, can you see the beauty in works to come.

  47. Z.... J....

    I wish that Vanessa Carlton remove the filters that echoes in her voice while singing. I think she's experimenting music genres these days.I miss her old genres and the way she composes the songs before she released Rabbits on the run. Nevertheless Im a big fan here. PHILIPPINES loves you so much!!

  48. A.... S....

    I wish her voice was like it used to be...it's almost like she reverted back to her 7 year old self. I love Vanessa but the child voice is a little odd. Much respect though.

    A.... S....

    Her voice is much more mature than it was when she was popular. The vocals are sung in a higher register to give it the dreamy feeling. It's to fit the tone she wanted.

    A.... S....

    +John Shepard that's understandable.

  49. p.... ....

    Her voice and style has changed so much. Still awesome tho... just in different ways. :)

  50. P.... ....

    I think "Let your eyes see hidden things, your heart beat like a drum" is my favorite line ever from Vanessa. This song is so wonderful.

  51. C.... H....

    vanessa carlton should be getting more praise and recognition for her work

  52. I.... ....

    makes me wonder if she were talking about the tarot card , seven of swords???

    I.... ....

    +TaoChiK She is. Said so before the song at one of her concerts.

    I.... ....

    +Patrick Atwell I never heard of her before. I heard the song on a TV show, now I can't remember which one. it didn't really hit me that she was talking about that until I read the lyrics. lucky guess. I'd like to hear her talk about it. I'll have to find that video.

  53. E.... W....

    When a new single will be release I really want - nothing where something used to be - to next single and video clip

  54. J.... S....

    10/10 best babs

  55. c.... ....

    This song is so calming, I love how Vanessa's songs are so meaningful and different from the popularized songs today. Thank you so much for still producing such great songs, Vanessa! <3

  56. A.... S....

    You're amazing! Rabbits On The Run is simply the best thing I've ever heard, and so far you're impressing me with LIBERMAN!

  66. A.... S....

    Beautiful song, Vanessa!

  68. R.... ....

  69. S.... M....

    It was so wonderfully seeing you live in Ann Arbor! Thank you for coming out! I really like the story you shared with your brother in correlation to this song. Beautiful work as always! ❤️

  70. K.... H....

    Ms. Carlton, are you playing on a Wulitzer electric piano?

    I miss the days of Private Radio. You're music was less melancholy. Your music now makes me want to take an anti-depressant.

  71. A.... P....

    I think this video would have been so awesome if you put this into terms with your brother and life stages. Put the song into more perspective.

  72. G.... T....

    Vanessa could do an amazing cover of the credits song from adventure time. It fits her voice and style so well. :)
