My Chemical Romance – House Of Wolves lyrics

My Chemical Romance – House Of Wolves lyrics

Well, I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be granting your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said, hey hallelujah
I'm gonna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
And say, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

S-I-N. I S-I-N.{x4)

You play ring around the ambulance
Well like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
And say, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil,
Cause they're never gonna leave you alone

You better hide up in the alley
Cause they're never gonna find you a home

And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls

I've been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another

Go!
Go!
Go!

Well I said say, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man

So get up!
So get out!

S-I-N. I S-I-N.

It is about a man who is now laying in his death bed remembering what an awful sinner he was in his youth so now he wants someone to tell him hes a good man so he can (think that he will) go to heaven. I'm 14 and I figured this out. But He realizes moments before his death that what he did was unforgivable and that he is doomed to hell.

I think it's about someone-- and since this is on The Black Parade album, I'm guessing it's The Patient-- who sinned at some point, and now that he know's he's going to die, he wants to be forgiven. And he's not sure if he will be, that's why it keeps going from "tell me I'm an angel" to "tell me I'm a bad man". But then near the end the angel part goes away and he's just saying he's a bad man, so he figures that he wont be forgiven and that he is doomed to hell.

He (the patient) has sinned and he was looking for forgiveness for what he has done. Though he knows what he had done could never be forgiven. That’s why the part when it says tell me I’m an angel goes away just to the part about him being a bad man. It’s also like he had accepted he was going to hell because, (like in Dead!) he was mocking it like IM A BAD MAN IM A BAD BAD MAN, almost you can’t save me and it’s more of a joke now. Like in the ending of Dead! It’s just if life’s not just a joke then why are we laughing ( la la la) so it’s more of the not just accepting death, it’s accepting that his bad choices are going to get him and he has to accept he is going to hell and was a bad person in life. I also think (it’s frank lets be real) that it has a bit about other things, not just death and accepting he’s going to hell.
