[Intro]

[Verse]
Dust motes dance in sacred light
A piano whispers, soft and low
Recalling echoes of the night
Where shadows of the past still grow
The baritone, a weary sigh
No longer battles with the gray
Beneath a vast and vaulted sky
He learns to finally turn away

[Pre-Chorus]
The choir's voices, once like frost
Now warm with mercy, soft and deep
A thousand souls, no longer lost
Their ancient promises to keep

[Chorus]
Oh, the cathedral breathes its release
A solemn peace, a gentle grace
When the stones forgive, and find their ease
And time erases guilt's embrace
The dead are loved, the grief remains
A truth the living understand
Through fading tears and passing pains
Released from this hallowed land

[Verse]
Candles flicker, soft and low
A broken pane, a silent plea
The heavy drums begin to flow
Like tides of a forgotten sea
Each chord a weight, a measured beat
That lifts the burden from the soul
No longer bound by old defeat
But finding fragments, making whole

[Chorus]
Oh, the cathedral breathes its release
A solemn peace, a gentle grace
When the stones forgive, and find their ease
And time erases guilt's embrace
The dead are loved, the grief remains
A truth the living understand
Through fading tears and passing pains
Released from this hallowed land

[Bridge]

[Verse]
This final confession, whispered low
My guilt, a shroud I wore so long
Now laid to rest, I let it go
No longer bound by sorrow's song

[Chorus]
Oh, the cathedral breathes its release
A bittersweet, majestic grace
When the stones forgive, and find their ease
And morning light adorns this place
The dead are loved, the grief remains
A truth the living understand
Through fading tears and passing pains
Released from this hallowed land

[Outro]
