Then be sure of it
Everything will finish it
Whatever good it is in,
The things will sell it,
The house will not remain a house

One of brawl, fracas, altercation,
Fight and quarrel,
People will move away,
Goodwill will finish it
And the house will destroy it
Built with so much grit and perseverance.
