Faceless Man - Creed

Faceless Man - Creed

I spent a day by the river
It was quiet and the wind stood still
I spent some time with nature
To remind me of all that's real

It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone
And remember that you feel
It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone
And remember that you feel

Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man
Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man

Now I saw a face on the water
It looked humble but willing to fight
I saw the will of a warrior
His yoke is easy and His burden is light

He looked me right in the eyes
Direct and concise to remind me
To always do what's right
He looked me right in the eyes
Direct and concise to remind me
To always do what's right

Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man
Again I stand, Lord God I stand,
against the Faceless Man

'Cause if the face inside can't see the light
I know I'll have to walk alone
And if I walk alone to the other side
I know I might not make it home

Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man
Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man

Next time I see this face I'll say
I choose to live for always
So won't you come inside
And never go away

Next time I see this face I'll say
I choose to live for always
So won't you come inside
And never go away

Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man
Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man
Again I stand, Lord I stand,
against the Faceless Man.

Whoa, awesome lyrics! I downloaded this song just after reading this, it is kind of neat to see a band that does not profess a faith that has been touched by Jesus!

Hey bro, Yeah, I have always been a fan of Creed. They have some other great lyrics that seem to exude faith check out My Own Prison and One...The lead singer Scott Stapp was recently in a New Man magazine stating he gave his life to Christ. Seems he comes from Christian stock and that is why that came out in a lot of their lyrics...Higher is played by a few Christian bands as it refers to the streets of Gold, or heaven and seems to point to God taking a person higher to heaven...while not professing to be Christian band, they do have Bible verses pop up in their lyrics...

I love Creed! I am a fan of "grungie" sounding music (bet you wouldn't have guessed that!)

I had suspected that he might be a Christian.
