first song ever with two goth legends together ... MISSION main-man WAYNE HUSSEY and SIMON GALLUP of THE CURE
"Michael persuaded our mutual friend, Simon Gallup, my 2nd ever favourite bass player, to play bass on Man Of Faith. Simon and I had been threatening to make music together for years and, and like most good ideas born out of a shared bottle or three, just one of those things we hadn’t yet gotten around to doing. It’s taken Michael to make it happen. And who’s not to say there won’t be more music by the three of us in the future. I hope so, time and schedules permitting.
I don’t like to explain what the words mean to me, I prefer the listener to make up their own mind. Yeah, I know, it’s a cop-out. That’s because quite often I don’t really know what I mean anyway when writing the song. With this one, I had the opening line and once that came the rest followed fairly easily. In my minds eye it does tell a story, a sordid little tale really, and maybe not all that it seems on the surface. Just don’t believe everything I say. Yeah, I know you don’t anyway." ... Wayne Hussey
lyrics
MAN OF FAITH
(words: HUSSEY / music: CIRAVOLO)
HEY, HEY PREACHER MAN WITH A BIBLE IN YOUR HAND
ROAMING THE WILDERNESS FOR A CONGREGATION
WHEN JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WELL, HE DIDN’T DIE FOR MINE
THE GOOD LORD KNOWS WHEN AN ILL WIND BLOWS IT’S NO VALENTINE
YOU’RE HOLDING OUT YOUR ARMS
AND CALLING YOURSELF A MAN OF FAITH
YOU’RE A MAN OF FAITH
A MAN OF FAITH
ALL KINDS OF HUNGER THEY HIDE IN THE DARK
TOO MANY CAGES KEEP US ENSLAVED
TO SIN WITH SILENCE WHEN WE SHOULD PROTEST
NO CHAIN IS STRONG THAT HOLDS JUST ONE RUSTED LINK
YOU’RE HOLDING OUT YOUR ARMS
AND CALLING YOURSELF A MAN OF FAITH
A MAN OF FAITH
YOU’RE A MAN OF FAITH
HE LEADS ME DOWN TO THE RIVER
AN ORANGE MOON HANGS LOW AND BRIGHT
AND IN HIS HANDS I WILL DELIVER
UNDER THE BRIDGE AND INTO THE NIGHT
THERE’S A WHISPERED PRAYER
THAT SWELLS TO GRACE
A – MAN – KNEELS
A – BELL – PEALS
AND A SILENCE FALLS ON THIS PLACE
OOO, OOO, OOO
AND TO THE HEAVENS I TURN MY FACE
I CAN’T BELIEVE A MAN WHO NEVER ADMITS TO SIN
‘COS WE’VE ALL GOT DARKNESSES TO HIDE OURSELVES IN
YOU’RE HOLDING OUT YOUR ARMS BUT I SEE YOU AS A WRAITH
YOU’RE HOLDING OUT YOUR ARMS AND CALLING YOURSELF A MAN OF FAITH
A MAN OF FAITH
A MAN OF FAITH

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2020
