With Faith Or Flames formed in December 2004, released their debut full-length (engineered by Jamie King: BTBAM, Glass Casket, TTIOTD) in December 2005 and began touring nationally in January 2006. Mike Milliken (guitar) was added to the equation in August of 2006 after the departure of Dustin Lane. Mike quit in April 2007 and Trevor DeGaine joined shortly thereafter. With Faith Or Flames released another full length, A Conquest Triumphant, on Stand and Deliver Records in early 2008.
After touring the summer with Carnifex and Killwhitneydead, bassist Eric Collins and guitarist Trevor DeGaine left the band. The current members of the band are Ian Sharp on vocals, Eric Weatherford on guitar, and Andrew Core on drums. While searching for new members, Andrew and Ian became involved with Destroy Destroy Destroy, with Eric contributing to their new album and Ian performing vocals with them on tour. They still plan to continue With Faith or Flames, however.
One Hell Of A Bridge Wreck
With Faith Or Flames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This seems like forever
This mess will never clear
These hearts are beating here
Will these people ever go
Or will I wait forever?
This mess will never clear
These hearts are beating near...
Near each other, forced apart
The day that we all lived together in infamy
The end of the live will never see true freedom once again
And will always be the end of the line
So many lives impacted, so many lives destroyed
So take your false sympathies and drive on by
I'm front in line, standing still
I'm not all together
Living mess on the road
Changes everything I know
Horns blazing, heart fading
My vision's blacking out
Living mess on the road
Changes everything I know
I will cherish the day you bled my solace away
And I will bleed for you tonight
I will bleed for you, I will always bleed for you
I will bleed for you, I will always die for you
I will bleed for you, I will die for you

We wait in line, standing still
We are stuck in a line, not moving
This seems like forever
It feels like we have been here for ages
This mess will never clear
The situation will never get better
These hearts are beating here
We are alive and present, feeling the tension
Will these people ever go
Are these people ever going to leave or move?
Or will I wait forever?
Will I be stuck here indefinitely?
This mess will never clear
The situation will never get better
These hearts are beating near...
We are in close proximity to each other
The day that we all lived together in infamy
The day that we all shared a tragic experience
The end of the live will never see true freedom once again
We will always be impacted by what happened today
And will always be the end of the line
This will always be the end of something important
So many lives impacted, so many lives destroyed
So many people were affected negatively
So take your false sympathies and drive on by
Don't pretend to care if you are not genuine
I'm front in line, standing still
I am at the front of the line and not moving
I'm not all together
I am not mentally strong at the moment
Living mess on the road
The road is a chaotic disaster
Changes everything I know
This experience has altered my perspective greatly
Horns blazing, heart fading
The honking horns are overwhelming and stressful
My vision's blacking out
I am losing my ability to focus
I will cherish the day you bled my solace away
I will remember the moment you took away my peace
And I will bleed for you tonight
I will suffer for you tonight
I will bleed for you, I will always bleed for you
I will always suffer for you
I will bleed for you, I will always die for you
I will always be willing to sacrifice everything for you
I will bleed for you, I will die for you
I am willing to suffer and die for you
