A cathedral (French cathédrale from Lat. cathedra, "seat" from the Greek kathedra (καθέδρα), seat, bench, from kata "down" + hedra seat, base, chair) is a Christian church which contains the seat of a bishop, thus serving as the central church of a diocese, conference, or episcopate. Although the word "cathedral" is sometimes loosely applied, churches with the function of "cathedral" occur specifically and only in those denomination with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and some Lutheran and Methodist churches. In the Greek Orthodox Church, the terms kathedrikos naos (literally: "cathedral shrine") is sometimes used for the church at which an archbishop or "metropolitan" presides. The term "metropolis" (literally "mother city") is used more commonly than "diocese" to signify an area of governance within the church.
There are certain variations on the use of the term "cathedral"; for example, some pre-Reformation cathedrals in Scotland now within the Church of Scotland still retain the term cathedral, despite that church's Presbyterian polity that does not have bishops. The same occurs in Germany, where Protestant churches (many with a presbyterian or congregational polity) co-operate under an umbrella organisation, the Evangelical Church in Germany, with some retaining cathedrals or using the term as a merely honorary title and function, void of any hierarchical supremacy. As cathedrals are often particularly impressive edifices, the term "cathedral" is often applied colloquially to any large and impressive church, regardless of whether it functions as a cathedral, such as the Crystal Cathedral in California or figuratively to imply that a church is of outstanding beauty such as St John the Baptist, Tideswell, known as the "Cathedral of the Peak".

Genres: Drama,There are times you hold the deed to my insides
And steal the sparkle from my eyes
But this could be the last time baby
This could be the last time
And back then dressed up as some kind of true friend
You taught me how to lie for you, cry for you, get drunk and get high off you
What are your thoughts about that
What are your thoughts
Baby I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
What made you think that you could own me?
I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
You never ever tried to know me
Well you never asked me how I felt
And still I'd rhyme for you, shine for you, lay down and die for you
This could be the last time
Baby I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
What made you think that you could own me?
I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
You never ever tried to know me
Well stop to understand
You're holding me down instead of holding my hand
And I'll be crashing through cathedral doors
The day I don't need you anymore
Baby I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
What made you think that you could own me?
I just wanna be free
Can't you see what I see?
You never ever tried to know me
You taught me how to lie for you, cry for you get drunk and get high off you
(I just want to be free, can't you see what I see)
What are your thoughts about that, what are your thoughts
And still I'd rhyme for you, shine for you, lay down and die for you
(I just want to be free, can't you see what I see)
This could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh... Oh...
I just want to be free can't you see what I see
What made you think that you could own me?
Oh... Oh...
I just want to be free can't you see what I see
You never ever tried to know me
