Lyrics:

I was born in the vacant
Wasteland of the faithful
You say prayers when you're scared
To be careless and found ungrateful
I was born a defender
Of a hell made for sinners
And never did ever forget
That it's still well equipped for quitters
I've been under impressions
Of a God in the heavens
Who strikes down all the heathen
And fights to protect his children

The Achilles heel in this world
You gotta hold ground
But you can't stick around forever
You only feel when it hurts
You wanna cheat death
But you can't hold your breath forever

I'm a man on a mission
Working hard for the vision
I preach love all around
But I can't get these clowns to listen
I will die as a martyr
A brimstone firestarter
And proud to burn down the town
To drown it in the baptismal water.

I can't believe it, I can't believe it
I can't believe it

My head is spinnin' round
My head is spinnin' round
My head is spinnin' round
It's spinnin' round, it's spinnin' round
