Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
[Verse 2]
Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above
[PreChorus]
It feeds (It feeds)
It grows (It grows)
It clouds all that you will know
[PreChorus]
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
[Chorus]
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
[Verse 3]
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
[Verse 4]
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
[PreChorus]
It feeds (It feeds)
It grows (It grows)
It clouds all that you will know
[PreChorus]
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
[Chorus]
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
[Chorus]
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
[Verse 5]
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
[Verse 6]
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
[Chorus]
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Follow the god that failed
[Outro]
Broken is the promise, betrayal
Betrayal
