Celestial City Symphony Orchestra - Cathedral

One day after another, I withdraw
They say, "there is a place here, a place where you may speak to him
In a world stained by glass"
A stone sanctuary where the voices deliver their sermons
Righteous in their judgement
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
They say, "his authority is all but absolute"
And I feel the weight of
Woah, woah, woah, woah
His words, a mandate to trust him that all that I long for will find me
But darling, why are we still right here?
Woah, woah, woah, woah
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
Hear the story of a man who's lost his way
Why can't I turn the page for us?
The Saint and the City below have put on a show of a joyous ascent
He has the world in the palm of his hand, but he clenches his fist nonetheless
He saw the future before it began
I am where I should be
At the altar of fate, on my knees
Just a drop in the sea
Ba-dum-dum-dum-da-dum
The Saint and the City
A nightmare within me
Oh, pride of mine
I wait, I wait, I wait impatiently
I wait, I pray, I wait, I pray
Darling, I have turned the key and let it go
Bitterness blanketing the earth
I have fed the furnace everything I have
Why can't I feel a thing?
Here, in this cathedral, I accept my fate
Hear my hymn echoing
Here, in this cathedral, burning at the pyre
Hear my cry overtake the bells
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
Hear the story of a man who's lost his way
Why can't I turn the page?
