Unhalig - [2010] Unholy - 07 - Cathedral

As night creeps in on you
And your mortal time draws near
Know that while the sun has set
You will not live to see it rise again

I remember you, the forest remembers
How your empty gaze did not understand
You set your life at the altar
Of God-fear, at the feet of the dead 
You heard voices that did not speak,
Followed laws that fall away in breathless wind

So as your body fails
Burdened with your wasted life
Wander the forest, the true cathedral
That you always ignored
As the priestly moon presides over your demise
Chanting prayers in a language you never learned
And never could until this moment

I bid you leave your hovel
Breathe the nightly air
And to think, as death encloses you
Of your every wasted prayer
