Here in the darkness that I lay depression heavy in its weigh
And how my body aches to leave to sing its final eulogy
My sons I love you evermore and though the road beckons once more
I see the damage that I've done in search for redemption
But I am just a broken man whose soul cries out to understand
How the madness shatters me upon the stage on bended knee
I scream out loud at skies above that answer mute, bereft in love
I struggle not to fall from grace or sing the hymns of my disgrace

We build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within

Mystery's forgotten chords I strum in vain to please the lord
But he has never answered me, my faith has waned eternally In empty men who pass along, the woes of all religions wrong
But now the shadowed veil it falls, heed the clarion call
So pray to music, build a shrine, worship in these desperate times
Fill your heart with every note, cherish it and cast afloat
'Cause God is in these clef and tone
Salvation is found alone, haunted by its melody, music, it will set you free (let it set you free)


We build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within

Music my savior (save me)
