Death Of Hope
I mourn the death of hope
The advent of lies
Watched it all unfold
I've seen it through your eyes
Is it what you want or what you think they need
Can you see the resentment as it breeds
Until they we walk down they won't see what you mean to me
Because they walked down they don't see they just disagree
Until we walk down they can't see what this means to me
What's it take for you to see
In the end the very bitter end
Will their faith be all they need
Did the rules the guilt and the shame save any souls
Or is the oppression about control
It's always control
Bridge
I mourn the death of hope
The advent of lies
Watched it all unfold
I've seen it through your eyes
Is it what you want or what you think they need
Can you see the resentment as it breeds
Chorus
