[Intro] I woke in the hinge of a thunderous door With a crown made of fractions and chalk on the floor [Verse 1] I traced the old marble With a merciful hand Found a map in the mildew Found a sea in the sand There was incense and iron On the edge of my name And the clock in the basement Was spellbound and strange [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the mirror leaned closer Like it knew what I lost Every promise was measured In a hymn and a cross I climbed past the columns Past the ash and the gold To the room where my shadow Had grown very old [Chorus] Sing, cathedral of maps Take me higher Sing, cathedral of maps Burn brighter I am small I am sworn I am the storm in a borrowed form Cathedral of maps Take me higher [Verse 2] Now the violins tremble In a key made of glass And the wind in the rafters Keeps reciting the past There’s a fist full of feathers And a lantern of bone In the city of verdicts I’m still walking alone [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the omen was elegant In a terrible way Like a star in a jar Like a leak in the day So I bowed to the silence And it answered in time With a face like a corridor And a mouth full of rhyme [Chorus] Sing, cathedral of maps Take me higher Sing, cathedral of maps Burn brighter I am small I am sworn I am the storm in a borrowed form Cathedral of maps Take me higher [Bridge] [Half-time break] Let the riddles assemble Let the banners unfold I was carved by the question I was sold to the cold But the frame of my ruin Still remembers the flame And the very last door here Knows my secret name [Final Chorus] Sing, cathedral of maps Take me higher Sing, cathedral of maps Burn brighter I am small I am sworn I am the storm in a borrowed form Cathedral of maps Take me higher Cathedral of maps Burn brighter
