Cathedrals Fall Lyrics


Cathedrals Fall

Here, despite ourselves

Unshackled, Untethered, unbridled horror

Horror at the unseen

Distorted, perverted, unknown demon

Demon of the abyss

Devoid of reason Second to nothing

Sent from the Sun

Indiscriminate destroyer. To this, we’re viral

Viral worms in God’s corpse

Necrotising the tissue, Abomination

Abomination under the skies

Irritant. Distraction. An abberation

An aberration needing correction

Selective destruction

Annihilation

Wiped clean from the face of this earth

Piercing contempt

An Ignorant cynic

(Vehement)

An infantile wisdom

Found in microcosm

(Confident)

Projection of self onto

Nameless and formless

(Righteous)

Build structures, Cathedrals

Build Idols to ego

Monoliths to faithful service

Raising your arms and your hearts up above

Skylines of Gold and silver

Spires of hatred and spite and deception

Arches of penance

Solidify concepts, imprinting the servile

Your Life is your toil

Your death is the climax

To be as afraid as they are

To cower before the night sky

Alone and as small as we are

A Mote off dust in God’s eye

To stand unaffected by all

The vastness between the stars

Accept insignificance, death

And oblivion welcomes us all

Being and nothing

Separated by nothing but shades of perception

Mindless and gnostic

Distinguished by presence and absence of self

Being in the now

The source of your horror and alienation

Be absent and damned.

Be Absent and free.

The structures that bind us to id

That tower above us all

Of Concrete metal wood and stone

A monument to that which hides

Asleep in the back of our minds

A terror that hides from the light

The death of the present, the ego

The orgasm of life!

And in the end our skies will burn

And in the end our oceans boil

And in the end Cathedrals Fall

And in the end all time’s ablaze

And in the end All Christs shall fail

All Christs shall fail.

Lose the moment. Gain the infinite

Damn (your) presence. Oblivion beckons

A mote of dust in God’s eye

A mote of dust in God’s eye

A mote of dust in God’s eye

A mote of dust in God’s eye
