Cathedral Spires Lyrics
They have blown away the daylight hours we had
Left a leagcy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
No more willpower
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
So before we're all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No names
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Ashes to dust
Doomsday's upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend
Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Left a leagcy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Doomsday's upon us now
Genocide all is lost
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend
Offers no sanctuary
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires

Yes anyone who says the ripper era sucks doesnt know what they are talking about, one of my all time favourite Priest songs, I always thought it was about the end of the world brought about by mans own hostility, ie a nuclear war.
This is, of course, about organised religion, and the utter hypocrisy and corruption which is involved with it.
Amazing song. Easily the best on the album. Ripper Owens really nails it with this one. According to wikipedia, the song is just about the end of the world. The Jugulator album is actually a continuation of the story found in Painkiller. The Painkiller saves the people who listen to metal during the apocalypse, and then the Jugulator is sent to rend the flesh of those left over.
That's exactly what I read. This song is amazing, and I think the rest of the album is too. It is a shame that the entire Ripper era is kind of looked down upon.
