|
Here in this darkness that I lay |
|
Depression heavy in its weigh |
|
And how my body aches to leave |
|
To sing its final eulogy |
|
My sons I love you evermore |
|
And though the road beckons once more |
|
I see the damage that I've done |
|
In search for redemption |
|
But I am just a broken man |
|
Whose soul cries out to understand |
|
How the madness shatters me |
|
Upon the stage on bended knee |
|
I scream out loud at skies above |
|
That answer mute bereft in love |
|
I struggle not to fall from grace |
|
Or sing the hymns of my disgrace |
|
We build cathedrals to our pain |
|
Establish monuments to attain |
|
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins |
|
Lest we drown in the darkness within |
|
Mystery's forgotten chords |
|
I strum in vain to please the lord |
|
But he has never answered me |
|
My faith has waned eternally |
|
In empty men who pass along |
|
The woes of all religions wrong |
|
But now the Shadowed veil it falls |
|
Heed the Clarion call |
|
So pray to music build a shrine |
|
Worship in these desperate times |
|
Fill your heart with every note |
|
Cherish it and cast afloat |
|
'Cause god is in these clef and tone |
|
Salvation is found alone |
|
Haunted by its melody |
|
Music it will set you free |
|
Let it set you free |
|
We build cathedrals to our pain |
|
Establish monuments to attain |
|
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins |
|
Lest we drown in the darkness within |
|
Music my saviour (Save me) |
|
We build cathedrals to our pain |
|
Establish monuments to attain |
|
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins |
|
Lest we drown in the darkness within |
