Lyrics The New Faith - Foundation

The New Faith

I have lived as a traitor all of my days
Allowed the enemy to enter our fray
As they climbed ranks, called shots, and spit on the faith
I carried like a sword, dulled by my ways
Who can I trust, where can I go
Now that the war has followed me home
For the crime of treason, I am not alone
I’ve lost myself to years of battle
Against charlatans that will continue
To confuse an open mouth with something said
And believe that violence is being brave
I’ve held witnss far too long
To dead heroes rsurrected with gold
To stab themselves in the heart and choke on their words
As we applaud
Who can I trust, where can I go
Now that the war has destroyed my home
For my crimes, I’ve confessed
I now stand alone
So I will lash out
Until I have no fight left
And when the turncoats come for me
I will fall on my blade
I will fall on my blade
Before I lay it at their feet
Because I will live at least once
With my head in the jaws of a lion
To know the aching joy
With my heart unburdened
With my heart unburdened
With my heart unburdened
By compromise
