Cathedral Spires Lyrics
[Intro]
They have blown away the daylight hours we had
Left a legacy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
[Verse 1]
No more willpower, choked by hellfire
Darkness above blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
[Chorus]
So before we're all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
[Verse 2]
No names, no graves, no prayers can save us
Ashes to dust, doomsday's upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
[Chorus]
Oh, we're so tired
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
[Bridge]
Jaws of corruption swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration, no good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more ascend
[Pre-Chorus]
Vaporized fury offers no sanctuary
[Chorus]
Oh, we're so tired
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral, in cathedral spires
[Outro]
Oh, we're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh, we're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh, we're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh, we're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires

Tim “Ripper” Owens:
The song is tuned down to maybe ‘C’. And, obviously, there are some notes at the end of the song that I couldn’t hit all of the time. There are some notes… I always call it my black lady wail, ‘cause you can just hear that big, fat, black lady wailing away on that high note. I a...
