Eternal Quest: Embracing Hope and Faith in Black Label Society's 'Believe'
Lyrics
They say that you've come to end
There is a belief that you have arrived to bring an end to sadness and pain.
The sadness and pain
As a bearer of light, you are here to counteract the prevailing darkness.
A barer of light
You are perceived as a destroyer of fear and a participant in the war of man.
To the darkness that reigns
To achieve eternal life, the invitation is to take the speaker's hand.
Destroyer of fear and the
The request is to take the speaker's eyes, symbolizing a desire for clarity and understanding.
War of man
Questioning whether you are merely a fictional character in a story for people to read.
To live forever just take my hand
Expressing a desire to believe in your existence.
Take these eyes so I can see
A plea to take the speaker's eyes to gain vision and insight.
Are you just a story in a book
Pondering if you are just a fictional character in a book meant for people to read.
For us to read?
Questioning if you are a story or a reality to be experienced.
I wanna believe
Expressing the speaker's desire to believe in your existence.
They say that you heal the sick
Acknowledging the belief that you have the power to heal the sick.
Breathe life to the dead
Attributing to you the ability to bring life to the dead.
You've come to save us all
Stating that you have come to save humanity, as people have claimed.
So they have said
Reiterating your role as a destroyer of fear and a participant in the war of man.
Destroyer of fear and the war of man
To attain eternal life, the invitation is extended once again to take the speaker's hand.
To live forever, just take my hand
Empty line, no specific meaning.
Take these eyes so I can see
Continuing to question if you are a character in a book for people to read.
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Posing a direct question about whether you are God or just another man that bleeds.
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Seeking assurance of the existence of a heaven that awaits.
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
Expressing a strong desire to believe in the existence of such a heaven.
I wanna believe
Repeating the desire to believe.
I wanna believe
Empty line, no specific meaning.
Take these eyes so I can see
A repetition of the request to take the speaker's eyes for enhanced vision.
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Continuing to question if you are a character in a book for people to read.
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Posing a direct question about whether you are God or just another man that bleeds.
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
Seeking assurance of the existence of a heaven that awaits.
I wanna believe
Expressing a strong desire to believe in the existence of such a heaven.

Final repetition of the strong desire to believe in your existence.
I wanna believe
Final repetition of the desire to believe.
