Faithful
Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time cannot take, the faith I will keep by my side, you've always been my saving grace. There's a day we all will face, It's a place we fear, we sit and wait for voices. No matter what you fake, we can't escape the pain it brings.
I'll never let this die.
I am afraid to be alone. What can I change, what will it take. You are the light in me.
Back and forth and back and forth. I wouldn't change this. No I wouldn't change this, for the world.
This time I am the martyr.
Thoughts of what's gone. The very thought makes me sick inside.
You saved me from myself you are the driving force that makes me who I want to be.
I am afraid to be alone. What can I change, what will it take, you are the light in me.
Back and forth and back and forth I wouldn't change this. No I wouldn't change this, for the world.

Rise Records can do no wrong. There's not one band on their roster I don't love. Thanks for being such an amazing label Rise. Cheers.

I NEED THE LYRICS!! it's killing me... so far i can make out of the chorus "I am fight to be alone What can I change What will it take ___________ Back and Forth and Back Forth I wouldn't change this, I wouldn't change this For the world"

sfbulb

The concept of it being one huge breakdown is the groove dude. They're keeping the groove and playing the same way most bands who categorize themselves as 'djent'

Overcome

this is honestly one of the best songs ive ever heard

Alex Kalogeropoulos

By far the best song on the album.

MetalKeys
