Cathedral in Flames lyrics
by Coil
Circle within circle
And when that hour came
From words they passed to deeds
Spires, spirals and stones rise
"And in the distance, a cathedral in flames"
Given a chance to recover his breath
And exposed
To the process once more
The youth squirmed in a shower of gold
That etched on his skin the words;
"Paradise stands in the shadow of swords"
