Domine, quare obdormis? Domine ne repellas in finem! Domine, quare obdormis? Domine faciem tuam avetis! Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores inferni Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores lacrimae
There’s a secret fortress in the desert Bathed in a golden burning sun With a crackled earth and barely a sign Of water ever falling from the sky Will I ever find my way Through the riddles and the trials
Holy cathedral of the damned souls I’ve been searching for a sign Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts I’ve been looking for your shrine I’ve been waiting all my life for the call Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs Listening to the wind all around my heart
There are poisoned sources and illusions Viciously abusing your mind There are winged and frightened idols of marble And men kneeling in front of their holy swords But can’t they see the blood Still shining on their blades But can’t they hear the storm Now rising above their heads For we lost our souls In the search of that illusionary shrine
Holy cathedral of the damned souls I’ve been searching for a sign Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts I’ve been looking for your shrine I’ve been waiting all my life for the call Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs Listening to the wind all around my heart
Holy cathedral of the damned ones Where do your bells and your spires hide? Don’t blind me with your lies Holy cathedral of the damned ones Don’t let ambition devour my heart And my soul
Holy cathedral of the damned souls I’ve been searching for a sign Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts I’ve been looking for your shrine I’ve been waiting all my life for the call Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs Listening to the wind all around my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral Right under my eyes This is the last minute Cathedral Right in my heart This is the last minute Cathedral Right under my eyes With its deafening silence howling inside my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral To light my wasted life This is the last minute Cathedral Turning to sand...
