Here in this darkness
that I lay
Depression heavy
in its way
And how my body
aches to leave
And 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
And 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 aloud at skies above
That answer mute
bereft in love
I struggle not to
fall from grace
I 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
And faith has waned eternally
in empty men who pass along
The woes of all
religions wrong
And 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
Woah woah
Oh woah
Music my savior
Save me
Music my savior
Save me
Music my savior
Save me
Music my savior
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
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
