The Backslider Songtext / Lyric

Some people know the order,

But they're hard to find

Some people roll you over

And then they blow your mind

Some have the will to occupy

Some people can't remember

But that's nothin' new

Some people kill for lovin'

Including me and you

But I guarantee your time is due

I guarantee your time is due [x2]

Black fire

Illuminate the chosen few

Liars assassinate what's come for you

Distant winds spread salvation

And beat you down with shame

Once redeemed is gone forever

Never be unchained

The future steals what once remained

Some people speak the truth now

When there's no one else to blame

Then they try to beat you down boy

If you don't do the same

Choose me or choose eternal flame

Choose me or choose eternal flame

Black fire

Illuminate the chosen few

Liars assassinate what's come for you

Beware back slider

You need to know

Just why we were

Cause I might be losin' my mind

Deception of your mind

Chasing what was once divine

Onward for the truth absurd

I think we finally know just why we were...

Alone

Nobody knows the answer

They never question why

And blind faith will lead you nowhere

It happens every time

Spirit shines and now it's time to die

Lights dim and you can't remember

You pray you're homeward bound

Kill the dream forget the memories

That were so profound

The revolution dies with out a sound

The revolution dies with out a sound

Black fire

Illuminate the chosen few

Liars assassinate what's come for you

Beware back slider

You need to know, just why we were

Cause soon you'll be losin' your mind
