Believe

I wanted to share these lyrics from my favorite song ever by Savatage. I think this song is a great way to prove those Christians who think all metal is evil wrong. It's a song about God talking to a man who has done a lot of wrong in his life, but He is letting him know he is forgiven for everything (it might not be quite as impressive without the amazing music;D)


So after all, this one night stands
You've ended up, with heart in hands
A child alone, on your own, retreating
regretfull for the things you're not
and all the things you haven't got
without a hope, a heart of stone lies bleeding
and for all the roads you followed
and for all you did not find
and for all the things you had to leave behind


I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away
just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you, is Believe


Your childhood eyes were so intense
and bargaining your innocense
for bits of string
grown up wings you needed
but when you had to add them up
you found that they were not enough
to get you in and pay for sins, repeated
and for all the years you borrowed
and for all the tears you hide
and for all the fears, you had to keep inside, yeah


I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away, just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
all I ask of you is believe
Yeah


(This is where the narrator switches to the man)
I never wanted to know
never wanted to see
I wasted my time
'til time wasted me
never wanted to go
always wanted to stay
'cause the person I am
is the parts that I play
so I plot and I plan
I hope and I scheme
to the lure of a night
filled with unfinished dreams
and I'm holdin' on tight to a world gone astray
if they charge me for years
I can't pay
yeah

(Back to God)
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away, just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
all I ask of you is Believe
