Count the devils
Count the days
Search for relief
Search for a better way
Across the broken glass
‘Cause the wind is turning
And the smoke and ash
From the books they’re burning
Will choke our air
And stain our sleeves
As our love is eyed
By hungry thieves
Oh, Faith won’t hold
‘Cause you can’t know
What a man will believe
In a state of emergency
Stalk the hallways
Court the guards
Turn the key
And hide the bones in the yard
In the shallows where the monster sleeps
Lays a secret that we will kill to keep
That no God is love, no love is clean
And we’ve all been broken by
What a man will believe
What a man will believe
When all his faith is wrong
When all belief is gone in a lover’s eyes
Then a man will believe
That no sun can rise
There’s only falling skies and that love only dies
