Built by Trembling Hands

Intro

Verse 1

Candle smoke curls up the stone

The bell tolls low beneath the throne

I carve my name where no one sees

Into the hollow of ancient trees

Pre-Chorus

The mountain opens wide

The water turns to bone

Something sleeping calls my blood

And I answer all alone

Chorus

Raise the altar to the sky

Let the hungry shadows fly

Stone upon stone the temple stands

Built by trembling hands

Chorus

Raise the altar to the sky

Let the hungry shadows fly

Stone upon stone the temple stands

Built by trembling hands

Verse 2

Stained glass catches dying light

The choir hums through endless night

I walk the aisle of frozen dust

My only witness is this trust

Pre-Chorus

The mountain opens wide

The water turns to bone

Something sleeping calls my blood

And I answer all alone

Chorus

Raise the altar to the sky

Let the hungry shadows fly

Stone upon stone the temple stands

Built by trembling hands

Bridge

Kyrie

Kyrie eleison

Through the thunder

Through the iron

We become the monument

Chorus

Raise the altar to the sky

Let the hungry shadows fly

Stone upon stone the temple stands

Built by trembling hands
