State of Grace Lyrics

[Intro]
*Unknown chanting*

[Verse 1]
Sacred towers, standing tall
Built in times of guilt and gold
Ancient knowledge, lost in time
Forgotten now in hearts and minds

[Chorus]
Holy towers, a test of faith
A sacred knowledge, state of grace
A state of grace

[Verse 2]
Carved in stone, your secrets lie
Of raising temples to the sky
When you built, this holy place
Did you take a leap of faith?

[Chorus]
Holy towers, a test of faith
A sacred knowledge, state of grace
A state of grace

[Verse 3]
Heavens light, golden beams
Shining through in coloured dreams
Gothic spires, of wood and stone
The tests of time, you stand alone

[Chorus]
Holy towers, a test of faith
A sacred knowledge, state of grace
A state of grace
State of grace
State of grace

[Bridge]
*Unknown chanting*

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Sacred towers, standing tall
Built in times of guilt and gold
Ancient knowledge, lost in time
Forgotten now in hearts and minds

[Chorus]
Holy towers, a test of faith
A sacred knowledge, state of grace
A state of grace
State of grace
State of grace
State of grace
State of grace
State of grace

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This one appears to convey a deep sense of reverence and admiration for ancient sacred structures, particularly religious towers and buildings. It reflects on the significance and power of these structures in the past, highlighting their role as symbols of faith and the immense knowledge they once contained, but are relegated now to a memorial to a forgotten era. They suggest that these religious towers represent a higher spiritual state, with the concept of a "state of grace," they are described as sacred and embodying profound knowledge. The enduring nature of these towers is highlighted, as they stand strong despite the tests of time, and will forever remain as an awe-inspiring symbol of faith.
