Lost My Faith by Seizure

Born of your will yet you kill what I feel
Because I try to hold on to a shred of what's real
And I made it through life I admit under strife
But you're shoving me down at the tip of your knife
I tried to be free and I tried to be me
And I wanted to see what you want me to be
And I need something new and I need to be true
It's like the world gets it's kicks when it's f*cking with you

No one cares of your life, no one cares of your death
No one will give a f*ck when you're on your last breath
When your god sits above and he looks to the ground
While he kills by the million and watches you drown
There's no justice in life when you lose all your things
There's no justice in death when god takes both your wings
He won't make it easy and he won't make it right
When you fall and you fall and you're hidden from sight

When you pray for his help and you pray for his love
And the only response is a laugh from above
So you're gritting your teeth cuz you know that you tried
And you cried cuz inside man you know that he lied
Now betrayed and in pain damn you don't hear a sound
And you feel so entrapped, crucified in the ground
And I did what I could but I'm misunderstood
And now the life that I lived erased what was good

I'm stuck in a hole with no body, no soul
And I paid you in years when am I on parole
You stated I'm hated, my future is dated
I know I'm the thorn out of all you created
But hey it is me and I think you should see
That I tried to right wrongs I mean can't you agree?
That you won't make it easy and you won't make it right
When I fall and I fall and I'm hidden from sight

God if you're there, yes it's me do you care
And I need you to share if you think this is fair
That I'm all on my own in the world that I've known
With the sins burdoning to a point I can't atone
I see familar faces and places familar paces
But nothing sees me in any of the cases
What am I to do, look at me is it true?
I really need to live a life that's long overdue

I'm falling, I'm fading, this cannot be right
And I thought that I had finally seen the light
Now the world is fading watch my fate begin
It's hard to believe when you're f*cked again
So what is to become of me when I can't see past the sea
But I'm held down so I can't be what I know was meant for me
It's my fate, it's too late, I've been closed, from the the gate
Lost my faith, it is time, to go take what is mine

True faith can't be lost.
What do you see? Is it Me, or this sphere?
Are you reaching for heaven, or some treasure down here?
Do you have selfless goals, meant to feed empty souls?
Or are prayers to the Lord meant to fill your own holes?
You try to be who? Do you have a clue?
If you TRY to be you, then that you isn’t true.
Faith will not disappear, if it’s truly sincere.
If it ever gets lost, it was never really here.

Sure it can
While you are of the opinion that "true faith" can't be lost, I would counter that it is far more accurate to say "something can't be lost if you never had it in the first place." Plenty of people lose faith, be-it religion, in others, in institutions (government, church, clubs, etc) whatever the case may be. It happens to plenty of people today, it will continue to happen until the end of days.
