Lyrics

True Believer

I wore my uniform so proudly, How my patriotic fever burned
I rode with the Young Crusaders Oh, I had so much to learn
We crushed that godless resistance Everywhere our flag unfurled
You do what you gotta do when it’s up to you to save the world

I was a true believer
I waved my flag, bore my cross
I preached my brand of the gospel
I was dying to die for the cause
for the cause.

I swear I wasn’t in it for the glory, I swear a higher purpose called to me
The truth of my merciless master was the only truth I could see
When you’re sure your fight is righteous, well, the blood of lambs will surely be lost
When you climb that holy mountain, ain’t got time for countin’ the cost

I was a true believer
I waved my flag, bore my cross
I preached my brand of the gospel
I was dying to die for the cause
for the cause.

So many gods to bow down to
So many uniforms to wear
So many roads to the mountain
So many ways to say the prayer

True believers
Wavin’ our flags and our cross
Preaching our brand of the gospel
Never counting the cost,
The cost
