Fortuna in Fidei

Lyrics
I stand before you (before you)
I hold no lies (no lies)
I see the beauty in your eyes
Innocent and pure
Give me your love (give me your love)
Trust in me
I’ll never let you go
Bow
Down
Kneel
Pray
I can’t live without your love
See the swaying trees
See the white snow
Hunger and despair
Conquers greed
So I can feed on what you bleed
You hope and pray
For an answer
For a way
A better life
Or a cure
There’s only strife
And I’m the messenger
I can’t live
Without your love
This flame will
Forever Burn
This is the hour
This is the day
When your heart
Is lead astray
Come towards me
Give me your soul
Hear the word
Give me your all
I stand before you (before you)
I hold no lies (no lies)
I see the beauty in your eyes
Innocent and pure
Give me your love (give me your love)
Trust in me
I’ll never let you go
Bow
Down
Kneel
Pray
About
Originally, the concept for the song was to write a text about the serial killer known as “BTK” (Bind, Torture, Kill). However, in the process of doing research, it became too much of a psychological burden, and thus it ended up being a hard swerve towards prosperity gospel instead.
Prosperity gospel is a term generally used about preachers who offers salvation through the congregation’s donations. One of the greatest examples of this is the American preacher Kenneth Copeland, whom we used as a blueprint for the song.
