Cathedral of Noise

Intro — filtered

Can anybody hear me

Under all this sound?

Verse 1

Blue-light baptized in a midnight glow

Everybody's righteous when they don't have to know

We sell little wars in a six-inch frame

Strike a match on a stranger just to warm our name

Truth got dressed for the firing line

Cut to a headline, then optimized

If I vanish between what you love and hate

Would you miss my face—or just miss the debate?

Pre-Chorus

Every saint has a sponsor

Every wound gets a share

If I cut the current

Would you know I was there?

Chorus

I won't kneel in your cathedral of noise

Where the loudest lie becomes the people's voice

You can sharpen every word, you can aim it at my heart

But a signal isn't sacred just because it leaves a scar

Ring the bells—let the whole thing fall

I found my faith when I lost your call

I won't kneel, I won't drown by choice

In your cathedral—cathedral of noise

Post-Chorus — gang vocals

No, I won't kneel

No, I won't kneel

Let the noise eat itself

Verse 2

We wore our anger like a uniform

Called it shelter, then became the storm

Built our gods out of glass and code

Then begged those brittle hands to hold us close

I fed the fire till it learned my face

Now every spark wants to put me in place

But I found one pulse they could never own

In the breath between "you're right" and "you're alone"

Pre-Chorus 2

Every saint has a sponsor

Every wound gets a share

But under all the static

I can hear you there

Chorus

I won't kneel in your cathedral of noise

Where the loudest lie becomes the people's voice

You can sharpen every word, you can aim it at my heart

But a signal isn't sacred just because it leaves a scar

Ring the bells—let the whole thing fall

I found my faith when I lost your call

I won't kneel, I won't drown by choice

In your cathedral—cathedral of noise

Bridge — stripped, then rising

Let me be wrong

Let me be real

I am more than the wound

You were taught not to feel

Tear off the labels

Tear down the frame

I am not the enemy

You were trained to name

Breakdown — harsh lead/gang response

CUT THE CURRENT

KILL THE CROWN

IF TRUTH IS QUIET

TURN IT UP NOW

NO MORE GODS IN THE GLASS

NO MORE SAINTS FOR SALE

WE ARE MORE THAN THE STORIES

THEY NEED US TO HATE

Final Chorus

We won't kneel in your cathedral of noise

We'll make a choir of every buried voice

You can sharpen every word, you can aim it at our hearts

But a signal isn't sacred just because it leaves a scar

Ring the bells—let the whole thing fall

We found our faith when we lost your call

We won't kneel, we won't drown by choice

In your cathedral—cathedral of noise

Outro — instruments cut

Let the noise eat itself

We don't have to.
