Faithless Lyrics
Behold the new hate with all the same lost values
Forsake what lives deeper in death we're all believers
Raise up your sirens, break through the silence
We are united in the search of something more
[Pre-Chorus]
Cross your heart, open your mind
Hide your face in their disguise
[Chorus]
Even when I fall down to my knees
I never say a prayer I don't believe
And I don't wanna look up to the Son
But I will never be the faithless one
No, I will never be the faithless one
[Verse 2]
Refuse to destroy the altars we are serving
The truth in living is that our souls are searching
Live with defiance, it's time to fight
Don't ever let them keep your words from being heard
[Pre-Chorus]
Cross your heart
Open your mind
Hide your face in their disguise
Even when I fall down to my knees
I never say a prayer I don't believe
And I don't wanna look up to the Son
But I will never be the faithless one
No I will never be the faithless one
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Even when I fall down to my knees
I never say a prayer I don't believe
And I don't wanna look up to the Son
But I will never be the faithless one
Even when I fall down to my knees
I never say a prayer I don't believe
And I don't wanna look up to the Son
But now I wanna be the faithless one
No I will never be the faithless one
And I will never be the faithless one
About
Andy Biersack wrote this song with religion on his mind. He told Kerrang!: “I like to use religious images in mind, writing, I don’t do it to try and beat controversal, but it serves my lyrical style well. As someone who grew up in a small town in the US, Christianity and, in my specific case, Catholicism, is so ubiquitous. It’s a good cover-all for everything I’ve experienced.”
“I guess I would consider myself an atheist – I struggle with the idea of titles, but don’t think I’m agnostic, because that’s a bit of a copout. I don’t believe in a traditional God,” Biersack continued. “That said, I have a strong defence of religion where I feel I’m playing for their team, I just don’t wear the same jersey. I have a deep love for the positives of religion can build; the feelings of hope and faith that many religions offer. I greatly dislike the ‘atheist religion’ for that reason; those people disregarded intelligence level of anyone who is a ‘believer’ – I don’t agree with that.”
