what I've seen could make the sainted lose their faith and what I've done myself has made me turn and walk away from who I was and had intended to become in this life of mine I've seen the lies of the lover and the scars of the leaver and it's that fear and desperation turns the faithless to believers and though I lied and lied and lied I'd not intended to deceive her again chorus: and I cried: ah, take me back into your arms ah, bring me home again ah, take me back into your arms and on and on and on... I went back out into the darkness to try to find my fear 'cause I've seen that nameless sinner in my faces in the mirror and though I call out for forgiveness it's never clear if it's come or it's gone chorus we feel the scars of the lover and the lies of the leaver and in our fear and desperation we are faithless or believer and though we lie and lie and lie we're not intending to deceive ourselves chorus
