Cathedral

Lyrics

Six o'clock in the morning, I feel pretty good
 So I dropped into the luxury of the lords
 Fighting dragons and crossing swords
 With the people against the hordes who came to conquer
 Seven o'clock in the morning
 Here it comes, I taste the warning
 And I'm so amazed I'm here today
 Seeing things so clear this way
 In the car and on my way to Stonehenge
 ♪
 I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
 Sunlight pouring through the break of day
 Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
 There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
 And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on her face
 And a feeling deep inside of me tells me this can't be the place
 ♪
 I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
 All religion has to have its day
 Expressions on the face of the Savior
 Made me say
 "I can't stay"
 Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
 Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
 For anyone to heed the call
 So many people have died in the name of Christ
 That I can't believe it all
 Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
 And the day he died, it was a birthday
 And I noticed it was mine
 And my head didn't know just who I was
 And I went spinning back in time
 And I am high upon the altar
 High upon the altar, high
 ♪
 I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
 It's hard enough to drink the wine
 The air inside just hangs in delusion
 But given time
 I'll be fine
 Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
 Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
 For anyone to heed the call
 Too many people have died in the name of Christ
 That I can't believe it all
 And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
 And the day he died, it was a birthday
 And I noticed it was mine
 And my head didn't know just who I was
 And I went spinning back in time
 And I am high upon the altar
 High upon the altar, high
