In this darkness that i lay depression heavy in its wake
How my body aches to leave I sing its final eulogy
Sons I love you evermore and though the road beckons once more
I see the damage that i've done and search for redemption
But i am just a broken man a soul comes out to understand
How the madness shatters me upon the stage on bended knee
I scream aloud to skies above, that answer mute, bereft of love
I struggle not to fall from grace I sing the hymns of my disgrace
We build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within.
History's forgotten chords a strum in vain to please the lord
But he has never answered me my faith has weened eternally
An empty man to pass along, the woes of all religions wrong
And now the shadow veil 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
We build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within.
