Текст песни
[Verse 1]
Stone cracks above me
Dust falls like snow
I light the candles alone now
The flock won't show
The book stays open
Though pages shake
I speak the words I've spoken
For nobody's sake
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls are breaking
The ground won't hold
But I won't leave this altar
Till the story's told
[Chorus]
I am the final witness
In robes that smell of smoke
I raise the cup to nothing
While this sanctuary chokes
The bombs are getting closer
But I won't run away
I'll finish what was started
Until the final day
[Verse 2]
The roof collapses
Section by section
I stand beneath the crucifix
Awaiting resurrection
No congregation
No hymns to sing
Just thunder from the distance
And the death it brings
[Pre-Chorus]
The beams are splitting
The floor gives way
But I won't stop the blessing
Till I've had my say
[Chorus]
I am the final witness
In robes that smell of smoke
I raise the cup to nothing
While this sanctuary chokes
The bombs are getting closer
But I won't run away
I'll finish what was started
Until the final day
[Bridge]
(Spoken, ritual)
Body broken
Blood was spilled
All debts spoken
All debts filled
Amen, amen
The end, the end
Amen, amen
Descend, descend
[Chorus]
I am the final witness
In robes that smell of smoke
I raise the cup to nothing
While this sanctuary chokes
The bombs are getting closer
But I won't run away
I'll finish what was started
Until the final day
[Outro]
The blast takes me
Mid-prayer
Still standing
Still there
