An Angel called Faith

Press play. Salute.

(A lone voice calling herself, Faith sings)


Let me purify old memories 

To be purged


For I alone 

Own all sacred keys


To embrace all vulnerabilities 

So you can be reborn 

With new responsibilities 


A whole new identity to be earned


To set you free

So you can be

The best 


For all to see 


As your new life runs 

To go so far


No more prisoner to tears 

To treasure the deep divine 


No longer to worship sin

No longer to taste more tears


Just let me be there

When you want me to hear you call 

Before you fall


Love infused with honesty 

Merged with trust and loyalty


For all the watching world to see


For we are friends 

Till the very end


Whatever this sad world dares to bring

Just let me in


To be the reason 

As your heart prays for something


Whatever the year or season


For I'm that one thing that has saved endless queens or kings 


And countless broken and destitute

The many the rich love to prosecute


Who I listen to even more 

Wherever they sing


Will you let me purify old memories 

That need to be purged


For I alone own all sacred keys


Just pray to call for me 


For my name is Faith and I'll appear to follow 

To help you break those chains 


To set your soul free
