[Intro] Oh oh [Verse 1] I woke in a throne of dust With a crown made out of wire The mirror gave me back A face that learned to lie Seven keys in my pocket And a map sewn in my skin I kissed the old machine And it answered me within [Pre-Chorus] Turn the hourglass Let the flood return Every broken stair Is a lesson I must earn Beneath the choir of gears I hear my name again Like a saint with dirty hands At the edge of the end [Chorus] Rise, glass cathedral Rise, through the bone-white rain Rise, glass cathedral I was born for this refrain (oh, rise) I will carry the flame Through the hollowed hall Rise, glass cathedral And remember it all [Verse 2] I met the moon in armor On a stair of polished bone It spoke in seven riddles Then left me here alone The violins were bleeding From a portrait in the dark And every cracked reflection Wrote a prophecy in sparks [Pre-Chorus] Turn the hourglass Let the flood return Every broken stair Is a lesson I must earn Beneath the choir of gears I hear my name again Like a saint with dirty hands At the edge of the end [Chorus] Rise, glass cathedral Rise, through the bone-white rain Rise, glass cathedral I was born for this refrain (oh, rise) I will carry the flame Through the hollowed hall Rise, glass cathedral And remember it all [Bridge] Split the sky in two Let the old gods watch I have tasted ruin And it tastes like velvet dust If I fall from the spire Let the fall become a hymn I am made of endings And I enter them again [Final Chorus] Rise, glass cathedral Rise, through the bone-white rain Rise, glass cathedral I was born for this refrain (oh, rise) I will carry the flame Through the hollowed hall Rise, glass cathedral And remember it all
