General Information
Written by: A. Lee, T. McCord, T. McLawhorn and W. Hunt[1]
Blind Belief is the twelfth and closing track from Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth. The song ends the album on a note not of doubt, but of hope.[2] Amy explained it in her Kerrang! cover story in March 2021, making a reference to the COVID-19 pandemic and the US politics:
|
“I believe it’s in us as a human race to survive this time. Absolutely, I believe we will get through this. But, of course, I don’t know for sure. Ending the album with Blind Belief was deliberate, particularly the line ‘love over all’, because that’s impossibly hard to say, especially when we’ve seen the evil that’s crept out of the dark corners in broad daylight in the last few years. Not that we’ve never seen that before, but it’s just been so in our face, especially as Americans. Even so, I believe we do need love over all. It should be simple, but it is complicated. The album is a journey through grief, among other things. The ending is reaching that seemingly impossible point of acceptance. Forgiveness, honour, remembrance and love over all. And when I come to the end of all those feelings – including the rage, the grief, all of that all mixed up – I feel released. I feel like I want to step into the future.” |

Lyrics
I believe in us
I can't remember why I believe in us
These seeds of the past, they keep springing up
Love begins with trust
But we can't be trusted
Ah, the future starts with us
Blind belief, are you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
Let icons fall
Dare to break away
Tear down this broken machine
Escape your plague
We're falling to pieces
Ah, the future's rising up
Blind belief, are you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
Let icons fall
Push through the pain
Unbreak the system
Arms of self-sacrifice
Lay them down
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down
Blind belief, are you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
Love over all
We hold the key to redemption
Love over all
