"Canterbury Stone" lyrics
We knew that we were right
We knew that we had history on our side
We took His Word as Law
We took upon us to remove the thorn
I fought the world
To put things right
Unshakeable
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Oh, Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
We murdered sleep and never, never
Never can undo
What it was our virtue led us to
On the Canterbury Stone
Canterbury Stone
That afternoon
I swear
We came to scare him
Not to harm
Found him at prayer
Cathedral dark
In the name of Holy Law
He stood to us
Before the cross
Would not be moved
Full of himself
Faith in his cause
But so had we
And so, we were at odds
We'd left our weapons at the door (That afternoon)
But saw red (I swear)
Red mist (We came to scare him)
We'd show this man (Not to harm)
This couldn't stand (Found him at prayer)
Retrieved our swords (Cathedral dark)
And felt their weight (In the name of Holy Law)
In sacred space (He stood to us)
Before the cross (Before the cross)
We moved (Would not be moved)
He struggled (Full of himself)
We struck him dumb (Faith in his cause)
Onto to his knees (But so had we)
I roared at him:
You'll take this for the king!
My blade:
White brain in red blood
Red blood in white brain
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
I murdered him and never
Never, never can undo
What it was my virtue did to you
On Canterbury Stone
Canterbury Stone
Your starry ghost of light
Hangs over me and visits every night
I ask if I am saved
You stare at me in silence from the grave
I fight the world
To put things right
Unshakeable
(Under the eyes, under the eyes)
(Under the eyes, under the eyes)
(Under the eyes, under the eyes)
(Under the eyes, under the eyes)
Canterbury Stone
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
We knew that we had history on our side
We took His Word as Law
We took upon us to remove the thorn
I fought the world
To put things right
Unshakeable
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Oh, Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
We murdered sleep and never, never
Never can undo
What it was our virtue led us to
On the Canterbury Stone
Canterbury Stone
That afternoon
I swear
We came to scare him
Not to harm
Found him at prayer
Cathedral dark
In the name of Holy Law
He stood to us
Before the cross
Would not be moved
Full of himself
Faith in his cause
But so had we
And so, we were at odds
We'd left our weapons at the door (That afternoon)
But saw red (I swear)
Red mist (We came to scare him)
We'd show this man (Not to harm)
This couldn't stand (Found him at prayer)

Where we rained down eternity upon us
Canterbury Stone
Under the eyes of the Holy Madonna
Canterbury Stone
Where we rained down eternity upon us
