I am a cathedral I have stood here through the years. I have sung a thousand hymns and shed ten thousand tears My bells used to ring to tell the hour to those near Now a voice's echo in my empty halls are all I hear Days weeks decades and centuries a museum that i wasn't meant to be 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 and time's forgotten me 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 Days, weeks, decades and centuries a museum that I wasn't meant to be 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 Moss and ivy are misleading I'm still young at heart Days, weeks, decades and centuries a museum that I wasn't meant to be 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 and time' s forgotten me Oh I remember everything, but everyone in time's forgotten me Ohhhhhh.....
