Cathedral - Van Halen

I looked through a stained glass window From inside a sinking cathedral And I could not distinguish sky from sea So I climbed the stony steeple 'Till the water climbed up to my neck And I had to grab onto a floating pew And called out to you I looked through a high-rise window From inside your Brooklyn bedroom We laid there 'till we could not Distinguish music Of the crickets from the birds So I climbed your iron fire escape Until the sunlight filled my eyes And I jumped onto the subway platform To forget you

The Finder! He comes to your village this day Braying for witches to slay Your daughter you sister your wife He knows what's right The Evil Cathedral Is beckoning him The Evil Cathedral Is beckoning him The hunt! They gather the pagans the evil ones But one lady stands far away She's dressed in black but her eyes They shine with dark light The Evil Cathedral Is beckoning him The Evil Cathedral Is beckoning him Witches burning at the stake Evil lasts forever Burn them outside the Cathedral Evil lasts forever All right now! (Solo) The war! Baying banshees now descend The Witchfinder helpless he pleads Too late his head's raised on a stake The Cathedral incinerates Oh yeah!
