Faith, Hope, Self-deception Lyrics - Singles - Anata

Despise the lie! 

What makes you strong is what I hate 

The plague that heals your wounds 

All you believe makes you sane, strong 

Immune 

Truth would destroy you 

You would wish for death 

If you saw what I see 

And you would die, but I would see 

You while you would fall 

Before me 

Fall before me 

Soon you will be 

Under my feet 

And left behind like all conquered lies 

If you could cleanse your soul 

And leave deception far behind 

We would never be equal 

Because free I stand, rid of lies 

But without lies you would be no more 

I do not envy you 

I do not want what you have got 

I only wish to see you die 

By your own hand 

Deprived of all that made you live 

Tough fuck, sad but true 

Your vision... a reflection of you 

Without substance 

No reason 

[Lead: Schalin] 

Yes, I want to spread the truth 

To all of you who were seeking truth 

But reality behind your veils 

Is far beyond your frame of mind 

Drained of what you thought was life 

You would be like an empty shell 

Hollow, used and thrown away 

Fragile as crystal in my hand 

[Lead: Schalin] 

Broken shell, empty and small 

What will become of you? 

Your life is worth less 

Than sand under my feet 

Leave deception far behind! 

We will never be equal 

Because free I stand, rid of lies 

But without lies you'd be no more 

Can I ever make you see 

Or even think like me? 

No, you will always feel 

Safe like the child 

Not knowing his father won't be back 

For fire... burn with me 

Know me deep inside 

For truth... see what I see 

Take my hand or fall before me
