Lyrics

Don’t believe what you see, believe in me
In my reality, I am a man of God
God, can’t you hear that I’m begging you ?
Don’t believe what you hear, believe in me
And I will reappear, salvation here at last
At last someone to answers all my prayers

Hope is a desert running dry deep inside
You refuse to face the facts, but pray for life
Find salvations in distress, we will wait
For the day you’ll break out and re-awake
(Lies)

Don’t believe what you see, believe in me
And my reality, eternity indeed
Indeed it’s the end all and be all there’s

Hope is a desert running dry deep inside
You refuse to face the facts, but pray for life
Find salvations in distress, we will wait
For the day you’ll break out and re-awake
(Lies)

Domine lesu, demitte nobis debita nostra
Salva nos ab igne inferiori
Perduc in caelum omnes animas
Praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae
Maxime indigent
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
Amen

Living a lie

Human power will devour our senses, bring us to forget
Human sources will not save the power of faith heals us all

Hope is a desert running dry deep inside
You refuse to face the facts, but pray for life
Find salvations in distress, we will wait
For the day you’ll break out and re-awake
And we wait for the day to discover there’s no way
I can’t wait at this rate, it’s too little and too late
To live this lie

Living a lie

Trivia

• The Latin part is the prayer taught by the Virgin Mary in the apparition at Fatima in 1917. The usual way it is recited in English begins with “O my Jesus”. Here it begins with “Lord Jesus…” and concludes with the addition of “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen”. (source)

“I wrote about a Christian couple who were pregnant, who had a baby which died at birth.” – Simone Simons

“[The song is about] christianity, people with an unborn child with a terrible handicap (the child will die after birth) believe that God will save their child and don’t accept the advices of the medical staff who tell them their child is lost.” – Mark Jansen
