Cathedral Heart

(hummmm) Cold stone

beneath the gilding...

They carved my face in marble,

built a shrine to see

A hundred hands have held me,

but none could set me free.

Just a pretty picture

hanging on your wall,

The higher that they raise me,

the further down I

fall. And then you came along

with those eyes of ice,

I played the willing fool,

I paid the ultimate price.

This is my cathedral heart,

empty and wide, A holy place for secrets where the lonely hide.

You worshipped the altar,

but you

walked away, Now the cold dark bells are ringing in the gray!

A lifetime spent in velvet,

freezing in the glow,

A queen of tragic beauty

that you will never know.

I gave you all my worship,

offered you the crown,

But you just loved the silence

when the music died down.

No more tears to stain the stone,

I will rule this kingdom all alone!

This is my cathedral heart,

empty and wide, A holy place for secrets where the lonely hide.

You worshipped the altar,

but you

walked away,

Now the cold dark bells are ringing in the gray!

Cathedral heart... Ringing in the gray... (ahhhh)
