Lyrics

True Believer

Do you believe in the darkness below
Well I can summon them up
If you really want to know
As I tow the line
Between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer

Born in sin where I pledge my evil oath
Violence is golden now
Did you really want to go
As I draw the line
Between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer

True believer...
Nothing can stop me now and
Nothing can touch me now
True believer...

No use in praying forever shall I roam
Smoke dusted angels now
It's the only way I know
As I cross the line
Between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer

Ash to ashes, Dust to dust
All I ever wanted was power of the blood

Now look what I have done
What I have become
I'm the choosen one

Never gonna take me
Never gonna change me
Never gonna escape me now...

Do you believe there is evil in my soul
One final high is the way
That I really want to go
As I cross the line
Between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer
True believer
Nothing can ever touch me now
