the house that was a home is broken now

the house that was a home is broken now,
as four became but three and three but two,
how quickly houses fall, how quickly, how?

the Lord gives, takes away, we're forced to bow,
what first began as two, turned four, it grew,
the house that was a home is broken now,

the Lord makes dust of every sacred cow,
a house of four reduced again to two,
how quickly houses fall, how quickly, how?

the endpoint is the start point in the Tao,
what ends ends back to start, this much is true,
the house that was a home is broken now,

the one and one that formed the four they now
are one and one again, and they'll end too,
how quickly houses fall, how quickly, how?

and I the third can't fix, it's not allowed,
the broken home of one and one's soon through,
the house that was a home is broken now,
how quickly houses fall, how quickly, how?
