Keep the Faith

Dazed and confused

Black and blue he sits alone now

Craving one more pill to numb his ache

On the way to run from all the anger

Choking on the tear gas

Gunfire tearing up the night

This is not even his fight

Is this the cost of stolen freedom?

Is it worth the sacrifice?

The legless corpses line in the street

As children cry themselves to sleep

One more night love's in the grave

Dysfunction

Temptation

To leave the violence behind

The damage done has left a scar so deep

Keep the faith when darkness comes

I give myself to make you still

The nights will bleed

The days will burn

I'll stay till you return

So keep the faith

'Cause it's meant for you

16, so sweet, when she gave herself the first time

Promises of love turned out to be lies

Thrown to the street

The pregnant girl that no one stuck around for

Bring in a new life to exile

Or cut the chord while there's still time

Not even God will give the answers

To abdomination's bride

Dreams die under the knife of loss

Feels like she's up there on the cross

Is our nature such a sin?

Rejection

Confusion

She's gonna sleep and not wake up

The damage done crushed her glass heart to pieces

Keep the faith when darkness comes

I give myself to make you still

The nights will bleed

The days will burn

I'll stay till you return

So keep the faith

Believe in this

Just keep the faith

'Cause it's meant for you

Keep the faith when darkness comes

I give myself to bring you peace

The nights will bleed

The days will burn

I'll stay until you return

So keep the faith

Believe in this

Just keep the faith

'Cause it's meant for you
