VII. Nightly Visions: 13. Cold Flames of Faith Lyrics


Fear and doubts disappear when the dawn

Comes to sweep my sins away

And my soul is born again

Then the light of the day

Blows away my nightly vision

When I thought that light up in the sky was God

Now I know it was illusion

“Don’t expect to see me up there

You won’t find me in the sky

Don’t expect to see me up here

You will find me in your heart”

I’m alone again

You give us so much joy and take it back

To fill our heart with pain!

“You only get what you deserve

Remember promises you never kept”

You said you’d stand by me

Though you left me in trouble

Despite I call out your name

“Why do you call my name when you need?

Is my word only a shelter for the night?

Do you really think I must be there for you?

I can lead you across fire and the rain

All you ought to do is believe in me”

“Lighting candles in the church

Making faith an institution

While behind it all I see

Is an endless chase for wealth

A sheer display of misery

This misinterpretation of the word

Leaves no doubts

Men believe what they want to believe

Can you hear me?

Hear me, hear me

Voice from your heart

To believe in me first believe in yourself”

Into the warmth of the light

Caring voices all around

They can lock me in a prison cell

They can threat me of torture and death

They can belive I’m mad

Look me up, look me down, but I stand

Cause I know that it moves

The Inquisition won’t bend me

I surely won’t deny my ideas, my belief I won’t sacrifice

I can lead you across fire and rain

All you ought to do is believe in me
