The High and the Holy

Verse

The high and the holy still walk these halls

As dark figure in ghostly robes.

They chant incantations they sing for god

Hide their secrets in crypts of stone.

Pre chorus

The cathedral, their palace.

Their ally is sin.

Their promises the last hope

For desperate men.

Chorus

The high and the holy, the high and the holy.

Their only god was gold.

Verse

They spellbind the masses ransom their souls.

They sell them salvation for gold.

The high and the holy they wear a crown

With emeralds and precious stones.

Pre Chorus

The cathedral, their palace.

Their ally is sin.

Their promises the last hope

For desperate men.

Chorus

The high and the holy, the high and the holy.

Their only god was gold.

Bridge

Along came science, down came the walls.

Now only their ghosts walk these old halls.

Verse

The high and the holy still walk these halls

As dark figure in ghostly robes.

They chant incantations they sing for god

Hide their secrets in crypts of stone.

Pre Chorus

The cathedral, their palace.

Their ally is sin.

Their promises the last hope

For desperate men.

Chorus

The high and the holy, the high and the holy.

Their only god was gold.
