about

Austria has many things about it that make it unique. However, I chose to focus on The Catacombs below St Stephen's Cathedral. St. Stephen's Cathedral ("Stephansdom" in German) is arguably Vienna's No. 1 attraction all round. It's certainly a marvel of Gothic architecture – and it's truly ancient: work began in the 12th century and the present structure was completed in 1511 (though the north tower was never finished). It is Austria's largest and most significant religious building. However, the main attraction of the cathedral lies deeper, literally: beneath it – in its catacombs. And yet, only part of the catacombs are actually located under the church, and rather constitute a system of crypts. Here, Vienna's bishops are laid to rest (as well as other clergy).
The catacombs proper lie under the square around the north and east side of the building. They are filled with the bones of some 11,000 people – these were taken from previous cemeteries at the site after an outbreak of the bubonic plague. The catacombs continued to be used until 1783 (when, under Joseph II, burials within the city were outlawed. When the caverns were full of bodies, prisoners were sent in to perform the gruesome task of removing the bones and stacking them, neatly, to make space for more bodies.
The older crypts part of the catacombs, i.e. those directly under the cathedral, were refurbished and now look fairly well lit. The catacombs under the square, on the other hand, have been left in raw dark brick. Only a few lights have been installed.
The song of course is not about the Catacombs directly but rather the idea that different classes and races were buried together in the Catacombs. The idea that we are all equal in death. Each of us have catacombs within where our self-doubt will reside, but to understand that we are equal in death can give some peace to that self-doubt.
I'd also like to illustrate my sincerest gratitude to Daniel Graves for joining me on this track. It was a true pleasure to work with such a skilled and professional artist and I hope to do it again one day.

lyrics

V1
Many claim to have seen the light
Others take for granted
Many seem to know what is right
When words need planted

Many say they'll lead the way
As the road ahead gets buried
Many know to seize the day
And ignore any warning

of the...

Chorus
Chaos inside
We continue to hide
Neglecting that which is not seen
With the naked eye

We all will bleed
Pain will always feed
Forgotten is the truth inside that
Chaos becomes the deed
Chaos becomes the deed
Chaos becomes me

V2
The weak and disgraced
The powerful and fake
The common and wealthy
Share the same fate
Ashes to Ashes
Just take a breathe
There is no value
When you're equal in death

V3
Down below the waking
Name we sew is making
You and I the same in
Bloodshot eyes we're fading

V4
Know, we all fall to pieces
Know, we are all deceases
Know, no matter where we reside
Death does not abide

Solo

Chorus 2
We have all felt the pain
When it comes to
Losing those close to you

We ourselves fall away
We will take our turn
As the memories burn

Extended Chorus
Chaos inside
We continue to hide
Neglecting that which is not seen
With the naked eye

We all will bleed
Pain will always feed
Forgotten is the truth inside that
Chaos becomes the deed

And til that day
We die where we lay
And all frustrations seem to burn
And turmoil falls away

Remember your own
Only flesh and bone
Imperfection is the symptom
Down in the Catacombs
