lyrics

As proud as a hill stands the blackish cathedral in a spectre of vapour that looks like it's not of this earth. For a thousand years the sunbeam's many colours have bolted like crusaders' lances straight to the heart. They looked up and they looked inward; they stared into the face of forever and they were afraid.
CHORUS: Look what fear can do. Look what what fear can do. I fear what fear will do when we're afraid.
I was a simple man, I counted the grains in my hands. I slept on the driest of lands where things will catch fire. And when it spoke to me I embraced my new destiny. Now everything said to me diluted and strange. So I looked up and I looked inward and in those stories from language to language such legends are made.
Sometimes I feel the guilt rise and burn under the weight of those words lost in translation and sometimes I feel the guilt rise and burn and all this is hard to unlearn so we try to harm no one.
This is how martyrs are made.
