CATHEDRAL OF YOU

歌詞

[Intro — distant clean guitar / whispered vocals] The moon drags silver through the rain, A split lip bleeding over us. Your ghost still leans against my shoulder, A tenderness I can't cauterize. [Verse 1 — clean vocals building] We carved our names beneath the blackness, Swore our vows where the dead stars burned. You wore the night around your throat, I wore your absence until it hurt. Every breath became a confession, Every kiss, a blade of truth. If heaven came to claim your body, I'd break its gates and drag you through. [Pre-Chorus — drums building] So bury me beneath your heartbeat, Draw me under, cold and blue. If forever has an ending, Let the last thing be you. [CHORUS — huge melodic vocals] YOU ARE THE FIRE IN MY VEINS, THE LAST WARMTH INSIDE THIS GRAVE. When every star is torn in two, I'LL KEEP MY HAND REACHING FOR YOU. Through every shadow, every scar, I'd follow where the dead lights are. And when this world is stripped from view— MY HEART WILL STILL BE BOUND TO YOU. (To you…) FOREVER TO YOU. [Verse 2 — heavier guitars / screamed vocals] Let the cathedral bells split open, Let them toll for what we made. I'd cross a winter without footsteps For one last syllable of my name. [Screamed] I'VE WATCHED THE DARKNESS— I'VE HEARD IT BREATHE. BUT NOTHING CUTS AS DEEP AS YOUR BACK TURNING ON ME. [Pre-Chorus — clean + scream layers] So bury me beneath your heartbeat, Draw me under, cold and blue. If forever has an ending— LET THE LAST THING BE YOU. [CHORUS — bigger] YOU ARE THE FIRE IN MY VEINS, THE LAST WARMTH INSIDE THIS GRAVE. When every star is torn in two, I'LL KEEP MY HAND REACHING FOR YOU. Through every shadow, every scar, I'd follow where the dead lights are. And when this world is stripped from view— MY HEART WILL STILL BE BOUND TO YOU. [Bridge — atmospheric / piano + clean guitar] If time grinds every rose to powder, If years bleach our names from stone, Somewhere under all this silence, I'll keep the pulse you left in my bones. (Whispered) You left a pulse inside my bones... [BUILD — guitars slowly returning] Let the heavens bolt their doors. Let the oceans climb the shores. Let every throne collapse to rust— I WILL STILL CHOOSE US. [BREAKDOWN — screamed] LET THE SKY— COME. DOWN. I'LL CROSS THE DARK AND DRAG YOU OUT. No saints. No gods. No hand above. COULD EVER CUT ME FROM YOUR BLOOD. [pause] NOT EVEN DEATH— COULD CLOSE THIS CUT. [FINAL CHORUS — massive melodic payoff / screams underneath] YOU ARE THE FIRE IN MY VEINS, THE LAST WARMTH INSIDE THIS GRAVE. And if the whole world disappears, I'LL LOVE YOU THROUGH THE UNCOUNTED YEARS. Through every shadow, every scar, I'd follow where the dead lights are. And when the final night breaks through— MY LAST WORDS WILL STILL BE YOU. (Still be you!) YOU. When every star has bled to white, When heaven folds into the night, There's only one truth left to prove— FOREVER STARTS AND ENDS WITH YOU. [Outro — clean guitar / distant vocals] The moon thins out above the rain, Dawn pries open what night sealed through. If eternity is waiting... I'll spend eternity with you.
