It’s a beautiful landscape.
The sunset makes the coast look so clear.
It’s the kind that makes your heart break
but no one has those kinds of problems here.
And from the sage brush comes a dove, it comes to take away the ones you love. And from camouflage comes the dove and it comes to take away the ones you love.

Wake up you faithless;
see your heart break gone.

The wolf has found a way to lead this foolish flock of sheep astray,
and the clouds make fearful noises and slowly turn black and shake.
The darkness comes around you and darkness comes to take
and it will cut the life right from you
leave you standing in the rain with nowhere left to run to and no one left to love you but the pain.

Wake up you faithless,
see you heartbreak gone.
There is no use trying to hold on.

Wake up you faithless,
you won’t be here for long
and this ship wreck will soon be gone.

All that I know is what I’ve learned from troubled times.
I've stood alone on the last shore weapon in hand under black skies.
I have been hunted through the valleys and the corners of my life.
Fight or Die.

Wake up you faithless
See your heartbreak gone
It’s no use trying to hold on

Wake up you faithless,
you won’t be here for long
And this ship wreck will soon be gone.
Wake up you faithless.

    General Comment:I think it's about losing someone you love due to death. The dove comes to take away the ones we love. It tells us that if we're faithless, that makes losing someone SO much harder to deal with. But when we "wake up" our heart break is gone because now we know they're in a better place with God. The hard times after a loss is the shipwreck but they're gone when we have a faith.

    General Comment:I think it's pretty clear, it's telling us to wake up! :P
    It's about letting go of the shipwreck of a life you've made and trusting in God, and He will forgive you.

    General Comment:After reading through these lyrics again, I'm pretty sure its saying that through every heartbreak in your life, and through Satah chasing you down, God is the only source of rescue.
