Cathedrals of Dust

Verse 1 We built our love on broken glass A sacred vow that could not last Candles burned in poisoned air Your shadow sleeping in my prayer The roses died without a sound Blackened petals on the ground Every promise carved in stone Still left me colder than alone Pre-Chorus Whisper my name into the flame Watch it tremble, feel the blame Heaven never meant to stay It only shows us what we can’t save Chorus We are the saints of our own despair Dancing in cathedral air Halo cracked, but still we kneel To wounds that never heal In the dark where angels rust We built our dreams in dust If love is holy, let it bleed We are the ones it could not keep Verse 2 Midnight drips from silver skies Truth reflected in your eyes Every touch a silent war Between what’s left and what we swore The bells still ring inside my chest A funeral hymn for what we blessed You wore sorrow like a crown I let my kingdom burn down Pre-Chorus Call my name into the void Every echo paranoid Faith was just a fragile thread Holding ghosts above our bed Chorus We are the saints of our own despair Dancing in cathedral air Halo cracked, but still we kneel To wounds that never heal In the dark where angels rust We built our dreams in dust If love is holy, let it bleed We are the ones it could not keep Bridge (choir enters, dramatic build) Kyrie of the broken hearts Gloria in falling apart If salvation’s just a lie Let it crucify the sky Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals) We are the fire beneath the prayer Breathing in forbidden air Halo shattered, still we rise With blackened wings that never die In the dark where angels rust We turn our sorrow into trust If love is holy, set it free Even if it abandons me Outro (soft, almost whispered) Cathedrals fall… But echoes remain.
