CATHEDRAL LYRICS
"Soul Sacrifice" (1992 EP)
1. Soul Sacrifice
2. Autumn Twilight
3. Frozen Rapture
4. Golden Blood (Flooding)
1. Soul Sacrifice
Tortured self-worth,
Abstracts of wrath,
Released from attachment
A Human reaction
Muted, unable to realize
Images of your designs
Soul sacrifice a blessing to me
Carve me from your memory ooh!
Deep impressions my depths,
Worthless, As each breath,
Worlds within half truths,
My fears of losing you
I'll pour scorn from the lowest place,
Colour fades from your face,
Annihilation-acceptance,
Paradox of self existence
Soul sacrifice
Ooh the pain we've been through
Soul sacrifice
I've sacrificed my soul for you
2. Autumn Twilight
I got those midnight circles
And I pray deceived
Ooh how I despise you (memories)
Tongue tasting moonlight
A tribute to my pain
We could last for never (another game?)
Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight
I got those midnight circles
I drawn the hanged man
Movin towards Winter (yes I am)
Eyes seek inner spaces
Guardians of spheres
A touch of dementia's (fears)
Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight
And the sun shall never rise again
No more visions to be gained
Stricken mother of failings
Led into a shallow grave
Here I am now
So far away - hey
Internal reflections
Another maze
Here I stay now
Caught between
Lives that you form
And the lives I've been
3. Frozen Rapture
You gave to me
Affection I couldn't see
It felt like a rope
Tightening on me
Frozen rapture
Your warmth I couldn't trace
Echoed laughter
Bring sadness to my face
Hereinafter
Plagued by my own embrace
In my frailty
Your splendour did penetrate
Onto the cold
Floors of responsiveness
Frozen rapture
Your warmth I couldn't trace
Echoed laughter
Bring sadness to my face
Plagued by my own embrace
Buried within walls
Of ex-communication
Torch light never shines
Upon my isolation
4. Golden Blood (Flooding)
Crystal towers
I've yearned to explore
Shatter as I enter their doors,
Splinters sink into tender parts of me
Devouring my inmost quality
Floating through a whimsical breeze
To the pitfalls of discoveries
Assassin of visual fallacy
Dispel aspiration, uncover travesty,
Fading convictions losing clarity
Descending to depths of insobriety
Golden blood flooding from me
Into eternal cynical streams
Dismayed by the curse of analogy
In theatrical and reality
Charcoaled spirit the stranger in me
Dissolved in timeless obstinacy
Spectacle of severity
Chasing myself away from me
Blemished wings of vibrancy
Elevate this bane from me.
