I Was Born

I was born in the wings of an old cathedral

Where my parents sang

There they spoke in overtones lifting slow

And echoing across my frame

And through it all, through it all

We never thought about the end

And through it all, through it all

We never thought about the silence

Now the drums break the dawn moving true

By true and shaking through the nave

Cannon song carry on voices rise

And fall out like a mighty wave

And through it all, through it all

Never thought about the end

And through it all, through it all

We never thought about the silence
