I think this song's incredible, only heard it for the first time yesterday. White Lies are amazing, seeing them on the 27th!

definitely a fave out of the album

In my opinion, this song is about a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan who, through his fear has turned
to religion and gone AWOL.



Did I sit alone and ask about my future? *Praying to god*
When you replied I just turned away *Losing Faith*
I've been searching through my books to try and find some truth *Reading the Bible*
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way *Not understanding it*

And if I made a promise, could I stay by your side? *Swearing to god*
Would you guarantee my safety? *Looking to god for safety*
And say that I'd be all right *Looking for comfort from religion*

But if Judgement Day started tonight *Big Biblical event*
At least I'd know I was right and I'd be laughing at the end of the world *Being religious, knows he is ok*
Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV *Iraq or Afghanistan*
There's an air attack
People of the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!" *More likely Afghan due to insurgents in mountain
And I'm banging on your door *Diserting Soldier*
So come on and let me in! *Looking for a place to hide*
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times that I'd done wrong *Confessing Sins*
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away? *Looking for forgiveness*
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think my friendly sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise *Another Prayer*
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind *But still lack of faith*

And if Judgement Day started tonight at least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"


And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
I need a place to hide before the storm begins


Dont slate me if I am wrong or you dont agree, this is just my opinion
Cheers
