[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Now the drums break the dawn, moving two by two
And shaking through the nave
Cannon song carry on, voices rise and fall out
Like a mighty wave

[Chorus]
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
