House of the Fallen Sun

The House of the Fallen Sun is a folk song from the 3300's. It surfaced after a brief resurgence in the popularity of the history of bending. It takes its form from the song House of the Rising Sun, an even older folk song from the 1900's. For the page on Blake Pravo's house in Lino Lakes, click here.

Lyrics
(chorus)

There is a house in Lino Lakes

They call the Fallen Sun

and its been the ruin of many a strong man

and Dayne, I know I'm one.

My mother was a baker

she made my breakfast cakes

My father was a traveling man

Up in Lino Lakes.

Now the only thing a traveler needs

Is a suitcase and a brain

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a plane.

[chorus]

Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done:

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Fallen Sun

I've got one hand on a button

The other on a pen

I'm going back to Lino Lakes

To make that choice again.

[chorus]

Meaning
The House of the Fallen Sun is a song about the famous stone house of Blake Pravo, the strongest bender in history. Blake Pravo was an incredible inspiration to Michael Dayne during his path to creating the American Empire. Without Blake Pravo and his fall from Godliness, the American Empire had little chance of ever existing at all.

The House of the Fallen Sun is also a song about power. The House that is referenced is symbolic for a position of power, and that all 'Suns' who enter its doors will eventually fall, no matter how hard they resist.
