Cathedral of Rust

[Verse 1] The stained-glass windows are all smashed and grey We kneel in shadows where the cynics pray The altar's broken and the icons fade Just bleeding out on promises we made [Pre-Chorus] The bells are ringing with a hollow sound We dig our knees into the muddy ground [Chorus] Inside the cathedral of rust Everything we built is turning into dust Chained to the pillars, frozen in the cold Trading all our youth for a story never told Yeah, we sink into the floor... [Verse 2] The iron pillars are beginning to bend We wait in silence for the bitter end A cold communion on a silver plate Just swallowing the poison of our fate [Pre-Chorus] The bells are ringing with a hollow sound We dig our knees into the muddy ground [Chorus] Inside the cathedral of rust Everything we built is turning into dust Chained to the pillars, frozen in the cold Trading all our youth for a story never told Yeah, we sink into the floor... [Guitar Solo] [Slow, sludgy guitar solo with heavy wah-wah and screaming pitch bends, backed by a deep, thumping bassline and a drag-along drum beat] [Bridge] Underneath the collapsed spine of the roof We look for mercy but we find no proof Are you still there? Or am I breathing empty air? Empty air... [Chorus] Inside the cathedral of rust Everything we built is turning into dust Chained to the pillars, frozen in the cold Trading all our youth for a story never told Yeah, we sink into the floor... [Outro] Cathedral of rust... Just bury the faith. Leave us in the dark. Leave us here... [Fade out with eerie, layered vocal harmonies and low guitar drone]
