TRUE BELIEVER

There's a wedge, we drive 

What is truth? What's belief? 

You call me faithless - but my faith's unshakeable 

From what I've seen with my own eyes 

I've been convinced by black and white 

You call me faithless but I've no doubt 

I've faith men cheat, Faith men lie 

I've faith they'll kill to make a million
