Cathedral of Ash

Intro - Cathedral Instrumental

VERSE 1

The bottom of the pit looks exactly like this.

No sight. No sound. No room to move.

Sit in the dark till you freeze and die,

Or start swinging at the walls till they break.

The panic is fucking dead.

The terror is fucking gone.

Lay in the dirt and let it finish you off,

Or get ugly and fight the fuck back.

PRE-CHORUS

No one is writing a story for us.

No one is coming to save our lives.

If we want a way out of this hell,

We rip the throat out ourselves.

CHORUS

Break the iron grip!

Push back against the weight!

We don't need a map to know we’re climbing!

We don't need a guarantee to make a stand!

If everything is already lost,

Then we have nothing left to lose!

Smash it the fuck down!

Instrumental

VERSE 2

They want you quiet.

They want you dead.

They want you staring at the mess until you rot.

FUCK that!

Every step forward is a weapon.

Every inch forward is a middle finger to the dark.

Your arms are tired? Keep moving.

Your chest is burning? Keep moving.

CHORUS

Break the iron grip!

Push back against the weight!

We don't need a map to know we’re climbing!

We don't need a guarantee to make a stand!

If everything is already lost,

Then we have nothing left to lose!

Smash it the fuck down!

BRIDGE

Stop waiting for a reason.

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Ready is a luxury we don't have.

Boots on the floor.

Stand the fuck up.

Move.
