House Of Heroes - In The Valley Of The Dying Sun Lyrics






In the valley of the dying sun
I walk a crooked path alone
I came across the shadow of a man
With an angel's breath

"Oh, boy," he said to me
"I see your future
Though you long for peace
The sword is your father."

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man
To keep myself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off my hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you

Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells

"Son," it calls to me
"Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper."

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you kill a good man
To keep yourself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off your hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you

I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
You want to finish it
We're gonna finish it right

And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning

All through the night
I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse
That's burdened me all of my life

And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy

I'm thinking of you
(for the first time I can see)
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
(That God was not my enemy)
I'm thinking of you

Like pieces of the sun
Our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky we shine
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on

House Of Heroes In The Valley Of The Dying Sun Comments
  1. B.... P....

    I liked House of Heroes WAY before Twenty-one Pilots was a thing.

  2. �.... O....

    this is not ride

  3. R.... E....

    Kinda scary

  4. R.... E....

    Who's the guy?

  5. R.... E....

    LIKE THIS!!! 😍😍😍😍

  6. B.... A....

    Cristhasmes

  7. j.... ....

    I'm here for Josh Dun tbh.

  8. A.... A....

    Sad and annoyed to the fact that the majority only are here for one person. Josh (twenty one pilots in general) is amazing. But he shouldn’t be your main focus. Understand he was just a fill in drummer. The newer clique members have got to be the most annoying shits on this planet.

    A.... A....

    honestly yeah. I joined last about a year ago and I think these people really need to stop. It’s so fucking annoying, he was a fill in and people don’t stop.

  9. A.... A....

    Every time I listen to this song I cry and it takes me back to sophomore year.

  10. t.... ....

    jesus ;; i love house of heroes so much like,, the vocals, the harmonies in literally EVERY song, they’re always so beautiful and hypnotic and i just. STAN. i miss these guys so much. this one, dangerous, young and brutal & code name: raven are my bbies

  11. R.... a....

    I came here for josh dun

  12. .... ....

    Their music is so good and TIMMY ❤

  13. a.... ....

    Good job I love the song

  14. L.... B....

    wow this is really good

  15. N.... P....

    I kinda hate the way people find music these days. Take a hit band like Twenty-one Pilots, and ANY music connections they have you know about it. I go to watch a video and I'm stuck reading comments about 21 Pilots, fans just have to let you know they're fans. It gets annoying and I've seen it with House of Heroes, Mutemath, & Vinyl Theatre and they probably won't be the last. Twenty-one Pilots is a good band I just wish people would explore music more. You're gonna find way better bands.

    N.... P....

    Nick Poirier I found a lot of bands through popular bands, but it still annoys me that anything possibly tied to that band is just completely filled with comments about it. It’s ridiculous, these people did THEIR music themselves and it really has nothing to do with that popular band :/

    N.... P....

    just be happy it isnt buried like it probably would have been without tøp. calm yourself

    N.... P....

    Thank you, you took the words right out of my mouth.

  41. J.... ....

    muito foda

  42. Q.... B....

    was Josh Dun in the band at this time?

    Q.... B....

    +Quince Berkeley I believe so, I know he joined TOP in 2011, not sure when he joined House of Heroes

    Q.... B....

    I don't see him in this video but he is in God Save The Foolish King :) fetus Josh is adorable

    Q.... B....

    +Quince Berkeley he joined house of heroes in march 2010

    Q.... B....

    +Autumn Blackford omg😂

    Q.... B....

    Nope, Josh joined when the bands normal drummer needed a break for family matters. He was the drummer for a good chunk of House of Heroes' 2010 tour. According to my cd booklets from hoh he only recorded two songs from the Suburba cd with House of Heroes, those songs being "Dissapear" and "God Save the Foolish Kings".

  43. T.... T....

    That singer is attractive

    T.... T....

    but josh dun is most attractive 😍😍

    T.... T....

    maybe ;)

    T.... T....

    +josh in my pants Yep he is , I love your name

  44. X.... M....

    i remember first watching this back in 2010 after i cleared high school :D

  45. M.... M....

    creative. emotive. substantial. make more like this.

    M.... M....

    They have, in every album they're released.

  46. K.... H....

    This was epic. I read the transcripts of an interview with HOH, and they were initially afraid the video would turn out to be a tad corny. They said they were definitely wrong and it turned out brilliant. I couldn't agree more.

  47. D.... F....

    Love this song.

  48. D.... F....

    Christian P!ATD

    D.... F....

    panic at the disco writes what sells and has kinda a cancer fanbase. Fans call it emo and rock but it's turned into nothing more than pop music. My sister loves them but I can't really stand em

    D.... F....

    @christa hammons because we all know hits are what determines how good a band is. Also, if you listen to PATD and HOH records they don't really sound alike at all.

    D.... F....

    HOH was around first

  49. I.... R....

    Awesome

  50. L.... ....

    Awesome, I just wish it were higher resolution.

  51. J.... T....

    I've been a HOH fan for quite some time. But after realizing I had never seen any of their videos, I simply had to check them out. I've concluded that this one is the best produced with a solid story line, thus making it my favorite. That is all.

  52. N.... D....

    WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS, AMAZING

  53. D.... K....

    Could this be seen as wrestling with an angel?

    D.... K....

    I always thought he was wrestling with himself.

    D.... K....

    I believe it actually is an angel. I could be wrong, but I think it's supposed top be a modernized take on Jacob's battle with the angel of God in his dream.

    D.... K....

    Door Knobz Its more wrestling with himself.

  54. C.... ....

    Well that escalated quickly O.o

  55. b.... ....

    is this supposed to be a specific war? cant see where the darker one uniform comes from

    b.... ....

    blaxxxx I think is WWII

    b.... ....

    blaxxxx Its WWII. It's off their album This is Not The End. It discusses of very difficult topics like duality, regret, and war.

  56. T.... S....

    Does that mean we should thumbs down if we came here on our own?

  57. t.... ....

    I have nothing against Christan music or Christianity...but mewithoutYou is the only truly great christian band I've heard.

  58. t.... ....

    oh, so that's why it rains after an automobile accident!

  59. f.... ....

    I almost cried listening to this. It takes a lot to make me cry, this was just so well done. Beautiful, just like all their other works.

  60. J.... c....

    Yes this is a Christian band. (I love the concept they are putting out.)
    I'm fighting for what I believe in -but God is not my enemy.

  61. C.... P....

    underrated.

  62. I.... ....

    You do realize this is a christian band right?

  63. T.... ....

    Okay. So Dinner at 8? <3

  64. T.... ....

    SHE SURE DID

  65. T.... ....

    you can never go wrong with a cello

  66. O.... D....

    Such a heartbreaking video....

  67. M.... C....

    Been listening to HOH for yearssss still think the bass licks in this song kick ass

  68. j.... ....

    Saw this vid years ago and up till now it's one of the coolest and most awesome songs i've heard

  69. D.... ....

    Messy Mondays: Seven Problems with Modern Music. There's an annotation link to this video.

  70. X.... M....

    3:21 to 3:35 ...my heart melted :)

  71. L.... K....

    :O which episode?!?!?!

  72. C.... P....

    The fuck is a blimey cow...

  73. d.... s....

    wow this is so nice!

  74. Z.... T....

    Like if House of Heroes sent you here.

  75. G.... E....

    4:33 "I WANT A VAGINA"

  76. O.... ....

    Increible......

  77. M.... ....

    I understand what you are saying, but to be on a Christian label is to say "this is what we stand for, and its God." They are not a band where you have to look at them and think. "hmmm, is this a Christian band?" The message isn't as effective unless its clearly pointing to God. And people stumble onto new bands all the time without knowing the label they come from. And yes, but Jesus also made it a point to preach to his people as well, because even his people need him and his guidance.

  78. i.... ....

    Best song to lsiten too when you've had a few beers.

    Love it.

  79. r.... ....

    I love this song so much 😄

  80. B.... ....

    best music video ever.

  81. j.... ....

    Just sad that, and I mean no disrespect, they're on a Christian label. It means that very few people will get to actually experience their talent on a broader scale. I know for them that's not what it's about, and I can understand that, but if you want to reach the masses. I mean, didn't the Christian Jesus hang out with the worst of the worst? Preaching to the choir won't really get you anywhere.

  82. R.... ....

    they did??? when??

  83. E.... B....

    Ahhh, this is officially my favorite song. Five days ago Tim sang it to my best friend, her sister and I after the concert in Little Rock, AR. He was so awesome and nice! Great night!!

  84. c.... ....

    This video gives me the chills. Every time.

  85. H.... B....

    thumbs up if Blimey Cow sent you here. =))

  86. W.... L....

    This is one of the best thought out music videos that house of heroes has produced.

  87. F.... R....

    In the commentaries made by HoH, this song makes a lot of references to the story of Jacob and that night he battles with God particularly. What a poetic way of interpretation.

  88. M.... J....

    i like there is many different parts in this song

  89. T.... ....

    4 people dont have any respect for the hell that anyone in the army goes through

  90. E.... P....

    This song is really good by House Of Heroes but I like Touch This Light better :P (and besides I have the top comment on the lyric video of Touch This Light xD)

  91. d.... ....

    this is kinda this band's bohemian rhapsody

  92. s.... ....

    Wow... amazing video!

  93. m.... ....

    i discovered this song on a christian music video channel !!

  94. x.... ....

    my favourite song by house of heroes!!

  95. C.... S....

    seeing them tomorrow:D 4-20!!!

  96. m.... ....

    This song is not bad. My favorite song by them is "Angels in Top Hats".
