Rhyme Asylum – Test Of Faith Lyrics
Lyrics
Skirmish
- I felt like a worthless child that needs to gain faith
- And I keep a straight face ’cause it hurts to smile
- Countless times of runnin’ away, I had an upbringing
- Of tough living, and my mother’s to blame
- Was never far from crime, drugs and vandalism
- My father died quite young as a cancer victim
- My heart was broken, that’s when I started smokin’
- ‘Cause I couldn’t take the thought of my father goin’
- If I ever scarred my mind
- Then my teenage years as a delinquent was some of my hardest times
- Had to leave the past behind as my time to grow
- Decided to come to the church and try and find a home
- And as time passed, began going down the right path
- Life starts again and so I found my kind heart
- This life I chose, I crossed my heart and promised
- That my relationship with God would always last the longest
Hook
- I’m gainin’ my faith, and I’m losin’ the pain
- I make my own destiny and I’m choosin’ my fate
- And I pray that God has mercy on my soul
- Yeah, I pray that God has mercy on my soul…
- And I’m losin’ my faith, but I’m gainin’ the pain
- The end is near, now I just wait for the day
- And I pray that God has mercy on my soul
- Yeah, I pray that God has mercy on my soul…
Possessed
- I spent most of my life trying to guide souls to the light
- Along the way I lost my faith and my devotion in Christ
- Haunted by the darkness of doubt, closing my eyes
- Have I followed teachings of a book totally blind?
- Who truly wrote the first editions?
- Am I living by the Lord’s words of wisdom or a work of fiction?
- I can’t honestly serve religion
- When as a priest, I’ve gradually lost trust in all church tradition
- My test of faith and as an educated man
- Can’t believe God created everything in seven days
- Will I pass through Heaven’s gates and reach a better place?
- When I’ve accepted money from the poor in my collection plates
- And the exception’s for a Catholic priest
- Cold as the heart of man and deafening the sound of chattering teeth
- Transformed from a man to a beast
- Or at least a bit of rantings of a victim to the cancer disease

Outro
- “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…
- All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… time to die.”
