Lyrics Judas Priest – Cathedral Spires
Text:
Tipton/Downing
They have blown away the daylight
Hours we had
Left a legacy, a deadly aftermath
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
No more willpower
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
So before we’re all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No names
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Ashes to dust
Doomsday’s upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
Oh! We’re so tired
Time to rise up and conspire in
Cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more — ascend
Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! We’re so tired
Time to rise up and retire
Watching as the world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Oh! We’re so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retired
Up in cathedral spires
