Cathedral

I went to the cathedral
But I was too late
They'd blown out all the candles
They'd locked the iron gate
Now, I went to the cathedral
In need of a connection
When I look into the mirror
There is no reflection

Cathedral, cathedral once shining in the sun
Now in the shadow of the towering banks
The falling bombs

(Bomb...)

I went to the cathedral
To stand and kneel and sit
But was I hearing laughter
Coming from the crypt?
I was looking through the hymnal
When I was a choir boy
How I loved the stained-glass windows
And singing Jesu joy

But I went to the cathedral
To give my confession
Only to be told that
The priest had been arrested

Cathedral, cathedral once shining in the sun
Now in the shadow of the towering banks
The falling
The falling
The falling
Cathedral, cathedral once shining in the sun
Now in the shadow of the towering banks
The falling bombs

(Bombs...)
