Lyrics

State of Grace

[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
