Iron Maiden - The Unbeliever lyrics

When you start to take a look within
Do you feel at ease with what you see?
Do you think you can have peace of mind
And have self-belief or be satisfied?

Do you think you even like yourself
Or really think you could be someone else?
Is there something that you'd rather be?
Never thought you'd be, had the chance to see

All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away

Feel the paranoia creeping in
Like a cancer eating at the skin
Do you feel you've lost your self-esteem
And your self-respect, what can you expect?

All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away
All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away

All my life i've run astray
Let my faith slip away
All my life i've run astray
Allowed my faith to drift away

Are you scared to look inside your mind?
Are you worried just at what you'll find?
Do you really want to face the truth?
Does it matter now
What have you got to lose?

Try to release the anger from within
Forgive yourself a few immortal sins
Do you really care what people think?
Are you strong enough to release the guilt?

All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away

All my life i've run astray
Let my faith slip away
All my life i've run astray
Allowed my faith to drift away

All my life i've run astray
Let my faith slip away
All my life i've run astray
Allowed my faith to drift away
