“Rusty Halo” is The Script’s first try at a religious song, and they do a more than exceptional job at it. This song is full of religious diction, motifs, and ideals that illustrate the story of Danny’s fear regarding the welfare of his own soul.

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
But you know you had it coming
Know you had it coming
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running, gotta
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running and running
[Verse 1]
Now I'm looking at the Bible trying to find a loophole
Yeah, I'm living for revival, dying for a new soul
Now there's no light to guide me on my way home
Now there's no time to shine my rusty halo
[Pre-Chorus]
(It's been a long time coming)
It's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Yeah, it's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Been so long, but I gotta shine, shine, shine
[Chorus]
My rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo
[Verse 2]
Now I'm running for the light in the tunnel
But it's just the train, but it's just the train
Yeah, I'm looking for the right type of pleasure
But all I find is pain
Now there's no light to guide me on my way home
Now there's no time to shine my rusty halo
[Pre-Chorus]
(It's been a long time coming)
It's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Yeah, it's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Been so long, but I gotta shine, shine, shine
[Chorus]
My rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I had it coming yeah, yeah
(It's been a long time coming)
I know I had it coming yeah, yeah
(It's been a long time coming)
I know I had it coming yeah, yeah
(It's been a long time coming)
I know that I gotta shine, shine, shine
[Chorus]
My rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo
My halo, my halo
Gotta shine my rusty halo
My halo, my halo, I gotta shine
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running, gotta
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running and running
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
