This Body, Thy Tomb - Cathedral

I exist in this coffin of life

Murdered trust and misfortune, has evolved into strife

Through these eyes I see nothing but death

I have tried forgiving and now I’ve nothing left

This body and blood, the cemetery of my soul

This body thy tomb encases me

Thy flesh a pall covering a long lost heart

This body thy tomb enslaves me

Seeds of decay were planted so long ago

In the garden of life where a future failed to grow

Golden crown and sceptre — I adorn

Amongst fellow corpses — in this loveless morgue

This body and blood, the cemetery of my soul

This body thy tomb encases me

Thy flesh a pall bearing covering a long lost heart

This body thy tomb enslaves me
