Try to turn back but I hear it screaming.
So damn sick of old forgive and forget.
Have to remember it wasn't always like this.
Until you threw the stones at my head.
Hear the sound of the glass breaking.
Revolution spinning in my time of sin.
You try to save me.
Just fucking give it up.
Faithless and Godless.
Coursing in my blood.
You say this bottle is my destruction.
I'm dead to you for what I've become.
Repent and conform is what you're preaching.
Rather die then live another day chasing religion.
Faithless and Godless on my road to perdition.
