TRUE BELIEVER

\\n

There\'s a wedge, we drive 
\\nFor our minds, to thrive 
\\nWe wither in this world 
\\nOr we evolve

\\n

What is truth? What\'s belief? 
\\nWhat is hiding underneath? 
\\nIn the lie-infested world in which we crawl

\\n

You call me faithless - but my faith\'s unshakeable 
\\nIn fact, I\'m one of only a few believers left

\\n

From what I\'ve seen with my own eyes 
\\nA lie is always in disguise 
\\nMy faith\'s built on solid base 
\\nI trust in what I touch or taste

\\n

I\'ve been convinced by black and white 
\\nThat today will end in night 
\\nThe song is long while will is free 
\\nLife ends in a minor key

\\n

You call me faithless but I\'ve no doubt 
\\nI\'m a true believer - believe me! 

\\n

I\'ve faith men cheat, Faith men lie 
\\nFaith they steal, one day die 
\\nI\'m a believer! 
\\nA true believer

\\n

I\'ve faith they\'ll kill to make a million 
\\nSell their bodies, sell their children 
\\nI\'m a believer! 
\\nA true believer
\\n 
\\nLies are always told 
\\nAs lives are, bought and sold 
\\nOur belief is the currency that we traded away
