Lyrics to the song:

TRUE BELIEVER

VERSE
F
There's a wedge, we drive
C
For our minds, to thrive
Bf C
We wither in this world
Or we evolve

What is truth? What's belief?
What is hiding underneath?
In the lie-infested world in which we crawl

BRIDGE
Bf C
You call me faithless - but my faith's unshakeable
Bf C
In fact, I'm one of only a few believers left

VERSE
From what I've seen with my own eyes
A lie is always in disguise
My faith's built on solid base
I trust in what I touch or taste

I've been convinced by black and white
That today will end in night
The song is long while will is free
Life ends in a minor key

INSTRUMENTAL (Wha Wha Wha)

BRIDGE
You call me faithless but I've no doubt
I'm a true believer - believe me!

CHORUS
I've faith men cheat, Faith men lie
Faith they steal, one day die
I'm a believer!
A true believer

I've faith they'll kill to make a million
Sell their bodies, sell their children
I'm a believer!
A true believer

OUTRO
Lies are always told
As lives are, bought and sold
Our belief is the currency that we traded away
