[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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)

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Woah!

Music my savior!

Save me!

Music my savior!

Save me!

Music my savior!

Save me!

Music my savior!

Save me!

[Chorus]

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 (Woah!)

Establish monuments to attain (Woah!)

Freedom from all of the scars and the sins (Woah!)

Lest we drown in the darkness within (Woah!)
