Last song off The X Factor, “The Unbeliever” is a peculiar song for Iron Maiden, and of course one of the most “prog-influenced” in their catalogue.
The song presents the introspective reflection of a man who questions his moral and religious belief, but also ultimately finds the way to carry on wi...
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away
[Verse 3]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
All my life, I've run away
All my life, I've tried to hide away
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
