CATHEDRAL
"Beneath A Funeral Sun"
(Brian Dixon / Lee Dorrian / Garry Jennings / Leo Smee)

Ghost of war smiling - damnation is nigh
Humanity abandoned - atrocity is rife
Moral desolation - future in decline
Final devastation - we shall pay the price

Funeral sun devoid of fire
Hangs above our burning pyre

Earth is falling - mother please
Save our sinners - father please

Plastic churches melting - fanatics get high
On fumes of armageddon - God didn't lie

Fatal acts towards mans extinction
Form the scythe in his reflection

Earth is falling - mother please
Save our sinners - father please

Haunting silence desolate gloom
Spectral vision of planet's doomed

Star shaped crucifixes, cosmic tomb
Tranquil void awaits us soon

Black drapes overhanging - a vulture's paradise
World leaders celebrating - wargasmic genocide
Undertakers laughing - at cost of sacrifice
Ghost of man is fading no signs of afterlife

Funeral Sun devoid of fire
Mourns in sleep at rest, retired

Earth has fallen, no more please
Mankinds burning - spectre flees
