Keep the Faith

Fade

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
