Lyrics

[Verse 1]
6 in the mornin', I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people, against the hordes
Who came to conquer
[Verse 2]
7:00 in the mornin'
Here it comes, I taste the warnin'
And I'm so amazed I'm here today
Seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way to Stonehenge
[PreChorus]
I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table, covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on her face
And a feeling deep inside of me tells me this can't be the place
[PreChorus]
I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say
I can't stay
[Chorus]
Open up the gates of the church and let me outta here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all
Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died, it was a birthday, and I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high
[PreChorus]
I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be fine
[Chorus]
Open up the gates of the church and let me outta here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
Too many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all
And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died, it was a birthday, and noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high
