Faith comes in many forms, escapes in many ways
Intrudes upon unwary minds, time in which to prey
Illusions of grandeur, miracles befell
Stories to be told at the chiming of the Bell

And who did walk the Earth, roaming in his solitary might
Strengthened by the angels, bathed in holy light
Resigned to do his task, forsaken by his own
Dusted from his sandals the earth he called his home

Upon this Earth he crawled, with love his only power
The Word his only voice, and this his fateful hour
Betrayal from those so near to him, with hateful cries they ran
But He stood still and faced the pain, to the end a Man

Far cry to be a leader born, they mocked him with their cries
They gave him trial, gave him words, all wrapped beneath their lies
He stood his ground, denied them not, and quietly forgave
Those angry souls who took their roles, and sold him to his grave

Beware those falsely given words, the powers they return
The Darkness holds to every promise, words forever burn
The Traitor turned and hung himself, the faithful do depart
Roles reversed, the line traversed, faithless from the start

Escape from this unholy place, and to the heavens rise
They saw the Lord take up his place, lifting tear-burst eyes
All faith ran true those fateful days
Now faith runs true no more
