An Absence of Faith

I’ll show you something, but you won’t see I’ll give you nothing, nothing for free You crossed the dark side, you sold your soul No turning back now, you’ve dug your hole [Chorus]: Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black You have the power, inside your mind To make a difference, to all mankind Your time is ticking, you beat your drum They criticize you, what you’ve become [Chorus] Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black Can you be what you wanna be Can you forget your past Are you all that you oughta be Take you into the black Can you be what you wanna be Can you forget your past Are you all that you oughta be Take you into the black You make decisions, you must decide The force of evil, You can’t deny The truth is out there, you force your hand You must believe it, to make a stand [Chorus] Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black

Orphaned children everywhere In the mosques of Lebanon Families gathered round in prayer But the chance for peace is gone 20 years of bloodshed Victims of the war 13 brothers all shot dead But your faith is not secured Can you feel all the racial tension? Can you feel the violent hate As you pray for the tears of redemption You pray but it’s all too late The misery of the Blood Death Hatred As you’re thrown into the fire, As you fear for the mortal slaughter They’re branding you a liar Can you believe the gall? They’ve tried to claim the wall! That once was built for all! They’re trying to deceive me believe me They think they can control me console me Islam has betrayed me repaid me Your god has abused me confused me Our lives, your fate Are bound by illusions you create Your seeds of hate Your god, your creed Bound & tied by the hands of greed You won’t succeed [Chorus]: You amuse me, You abuse me I refuse to be a muslim You forsake me, you can’t break me You won’t make me be a muslim Your rules, your race Are drawn to the power of the holy place You breed disgrace We hear your cries You feel the need to criticize You need your lies [Chorus] You amuse me, You abuse me I refuse to be a muslim You forsake me, you can’t break me You won’t make me be a muslim Your war – your fear, is haunting me Your war – your fear, is haunting me Your war – your fear, is haunting me Your war – your fear, is haunting me Can you believe the gall? They’ve tried to claim the wall! That once was built for all!

The air that I breathe is suffocating me These things that I do, confusing me The eyes of the blind are staring at my soul My time on this world has taken its toll [Chorus]: How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? Before the Bough begins to Break This life that I lead is aggravating me These thoughts in my head confusing me This switch in my brain is turned to overload I’m going insane – I’m about to explode [Chorus] How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? Before the Bough begins to Break Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need? Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need? [Chorus] How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far – Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far – Before the bough breaks? Every time you look at me I feel like I’m the enemy How far? Before the bough breaks? I don’t think we’ll make it through, you can’t see my point of view How far? Before the bough breaks? Always criticising me sapping all my energy How far? Before the bough breaks? I wish that it was yesterday – same old shit everyday How far? Before the bough breaks?

Staring at the mirror Can you see what the mirror sees? Where is the reflection? A blank mind staring back at me Watching the reaction Trying to fake the reality Missing in the action I need someone to set me free Chorus I’m lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Looking through a window Faceless strangers watching you Staring at the victim Trying to change my point of view Feeling like a failure Those who just don’t have a clue Actions of a saviour Heartbeat kick start overdue Chorus I’m lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost, Lost Within Lost, Lost within I’m losing my mind, don’t believe what I said I’m losing the things that live inside of my head So give me a needle but don’t give me no drug Don’t give me your freedom I’d rather be dead Picking up the pieces Pull this dagger from my chest Looking like a newsflash Put this dead man to the test Asking all the questions Why my body’s being possessed Finding out the answers Lay my body down to rest Chorus I’m lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost, Lost Within Lost, Lost within Lost within my head

I'm satisfied that you lied The people want you crucified Won’t you tell the truth? On the side I’m terrified Of all the rules that you’ve implied Won’t you tell the truth? [Chorus]: No need to make broken promises No need to tell those lies No need to make broken promises You can’t ignore the deaths of war They’re picking bodies off the floor Won’t you call a truce? And furthermore you’ve closed the door On all the troops that you withdraw Won’t you call a truce? [Chorus] No need to make broken promises No need to tell these lies No need to make broken promises I know you can’t keep making these promises I know you can’t keep telling those lies I know you’re just the American president It’s not your son who regretfully dies Why can’t you see what you need to see Why can’t you be what we need you to be I know you can’t keep making these promises I know you can’t keep telling those lies [Chorus] No need to make broken promises (“No need! No Need!”) No need to tell these lies (“No Lies! No Lies!”) No need to make broken promises (“No need! No Need!”) No need to tell those – tell those lies!
