Sanctuary Of Sorrow (Version 2)

[intro] [Gregorian chant under low distorted organ swell] [footsteps on stone, wind through a cathedral] [verse 1] These walls once heard prayers Now they swallow my cries Blood on the altar Where I laid our lies [verse 2] A cross made of ash And roses turned black This sanctuary knows You’re never coming back [pre-chorus] The stained glass bleeds red When I whisper your name Each echo a requiem Each moment, the same [chorus] Sanctuary of sorrow I live where angels fall In love with your absence Kneeling to nothing at all Sanctuary of sorrow Your ghost is my hymn I chant to the silence While the shadows close in [guitar solo] [pipe organ harmonics under pinch harmonics] [verse 3] I burned every candle But the dark stayed with me You left like a whisper Now you’re all that I see [pre-chorus] Your breath in the stone Your name in the dust This place holds your weight Like the bones of my trust [chorus] Sanctuary of sorrow I live where angels fall In love with your absence Kneeling to nothing at all Sanctuary of sorrow Your ghost is my hymn I chant to the silence While the shadows close in [outro] [organ fades into heartbeat sound, then silence] I built you a temple... And buried myself inside. Sanctuary of sorrow I live where angels fall In love with your absence Kneeling to nothing at all Sanctuary of sorrow Your ghost is my hymn I chant to the silence While the shadows close in [guitar solo outro] [end song]
