SAMARITAN Lyrics
[Intro]
Hoo
[Verse 1]
Mm, oh, the future is gonna be bright
A clear path and all the stars are out
Looking up at the dark blue sky
Walking steady not blinded by the light
[Chorus]
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
[Interlude]
No, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Hoo
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh the past will never be the same
Once I am done, good memories will be gone
They guard their secrets with their lives
I spit on your fo-forsaken tribe
[Chorus]
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
[Verse 3]
Oh, thy beauty makes me go blind
When you are near, my senses don't function
I give you this empty life
Can I be your soldier with a knife?
[Chorus]
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
I don't believe in a god, let's leave religion out of all this
I don't remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss
If I am what you say, I expect to be hanging from a wooden cross
When all this is done, it's done
[Verse 4]
Oh, thy beauty makes me go blind
When you are near, my senses don't function
I give you this empty life
Can I be your soldier with a knife?
[Outro]
No, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no
No, no, no, no, no, no

What did ionnalee say about "SAMARITAN"?
SAMARITAN is a reaction to, and resolving of, expectations of me as an artist. it was written as a liberating tool to break free creatively, and also to declare the standpoint of my creative process as a living breathing thing existing out of will and not for commercial purposes or to please the ind...
How has SAMARITAN been described in interviews?
The album’s first taster came in February 2017 with ‘SAMARITAN’, a blunt eschewing of other people’s demands and presumptions, over which the artist has no control. Boasting a big and immediate pop chorus, ’SAMARITAN’ feels tailor-made for a record that is often conscious of and rebels against what...
