So swallow hard the serpent
Of many tags and faces hid in masks
Coiled ´round this lung until the last
He´ll crack your boots young pagans
‘Cause like you I was hatched to traipse on cold

And 17´s a long drawn way from hope

And I´ve learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taught
And now I´m telling you

Return the faith
Return the faith
They´re smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there´s no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You´ve gotta move

So as betrayed by rainbows
Here I convey I´ve sold out your dear cause

And the king has placed us in his jaws
It´s sure no place can hold us
But in this scene I´m December
And your June´s wretch
And my idyls lay gasping as if death

And I´ve learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taught
And now I´m telling you
And I´ve learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taught
And now I´m telling you

Return the faith
Return the faith
They´re smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there´s no escape

So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You´ve gotta move

Return the faith (Return the faith)
Return the faith (Return the faith)
Return the faith
