Cathedral

Courtney Jones

[Verse 1]
I am a cathedral, I have stood here through the years
I have sung 10,000 hymns and shed 10,000 tears
My bells used to ring to tell the hours to those near
Now a voice's echo in my empty halls are all I hear

[Pre-Chorus]
Days, weeks, decades and centuries
A museum that I wasn't meant to be

[Chorus]
Oh, I am a cathedral, I've seen cities rise and fall
I've outlasted emperors and kings
Through flood and fire I remain a silent witness to it all
But everyone in time's forgotten me

[Verse 2]
Was once a sanctuary, a protector of the weak
Built to offer solace to all those who came to me
I am a pioneer, now disregarded history
But I offer all I have and will forever so it seems

[Pre-Chorus]
Days, weeks, decades and centuries
A museum that I wasn't meant to be

[Chorus]
Oh, I am a cathedral, I've seen cities rise and fall
I've outlasted emperors and kings
Through flood and fire I remain a silent witness to it all
But everyone in time's forgotten me

[Bridge]
Moss and ivy are misleading
I'm still young, at heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Days, weeks, decades and centuries
A museum that I was never meant to be

[Chorus]
Oh, I am a cathedral, I've seen cities rise and fall
I've outlasted emperors and kings
Through flood and fire I remain a silent witness to it all
But everyone in time's forgotten me

[Outro]
Oh, I remember everything
But everyone in time's forgotten me
