Verse: 1
Am E
Here in this darkness that I lay
Em
Depression heavy in its way
F6
And how my body aches to leave
E Am
And sing its final eulogy
E
My sons I love you evermore
Em
And though the road beckons once more
F6
I see the damage that I've done
E
And search for redemption
Am
But I am just a broken man
E
Whose soul cries out to understand
Em
How the madness shatters me
F6 E
Upon the stage on bended knee
Am
I scream aloud at skies above
E
That answer mute, bereft in love
Em
I struggle not to fall from grace
F6 E F
I sing the hymns of my disgrace
Asus4 Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
C F
Establish monuments to attain
Asus4 E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within
Verse: 2
Am E
Mystery's forgotten chords
Em
I strum in vain to please the lord
F6
But he has never answered me
E Am
And faith has waned eternally
E
In empty men who pass along
Em
The woes of all religions wrong
F6
And now the shadowed veil it falls
E
Heed the clarion call
Am
So pray to music build a shrine
E
Worship in these desperate times
Em
Fill your heart with every note
F6 E
Cherish it and cast afloat
Am
Because God is in these clef and tone
E
Salvation is found alone
Em
Haunted by its melody
F6 E F
Music, it will set you free (let it set you free)
Asus4 Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
C F
Establish monuments to attain
Asus4 E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within
