Hear My Hope


Hear my hope
Let it echo
In every soul that needs
Something to believe

Take my hand
Never let go
Even one soft sound
Can shake the hardest ground
And even if we die striving to find the peace we lost
At least we'll know we tried, didn't stand by with fingers crossed

Raise your voice, light the fire
'Til our hopes and fears reach a billion ears

Lend your breath, join the choir
Let the music span o'er this broken land

And many years from now, if any live to hear this song
A story about how all Hell joined hands and sang along
It begins with just one note
A crescendo 'til the end, no matter what it takes to stay afloat
Hear my hope

Hahahaha
Hahahaha (Sanctus)

What are you doing here?
I'm here to finish what I started

Let's get Emily and go

No, how can you be so cold-hearted? (Dominus)
Everybody dies if we don't do this

And so be it, don't resist

Or what?
I'll take your other eye

Just try

Lute, this isn't what we talked about (Ignis)
Abel, please

We don't have time for this

Shut your mouth, abomination
Abel, you can stop this

Abel?

Abel, please
Enough!

Can't breathe, vision's gettin' blurry now
Nosebleed, never been so worried
How'm I s'posed to handle the pressure?
It would've been better if I were anybody else
Dear dad, tell me what you would've done
Too bad that I'm not your braver son
Why'd I have to be picked to lead?
I wish that I could be anybody else

I'm supposed to do something
Am I, am I supposed to do something?
Do I run, do I dare, can I grant my own prayer?
Get a grip, grow a pair
Let me stop you right there
There's no cause for attack
Swallow your pride, cast your bloodlust aside
Bitch, you better fall back

I can't hold it much longer

We got you
We need to be stronger

We've done all we can, there's no way

No way
No one left to save the day

It's okay

You would risk your life
For souls that Heaven sought to kill?

We can not just stand by
It's time to match your strength of will

Hear my hope (Save us from harm)
Let it echo
In every soul that needs (Lay down our arms)
Something to believe
Take my hand (Just for a day)
Never let go
Even one soft sound (Put war away)
Can shake the hardest ground
Why don't you help them, you double-dealing manipulator?

What's in it for me?
I don't work for free
You want help, well, you know the fee

I will not reward a snake like you
You'll watch them die unless you do

Liar, you wouldn't dare

Quid pro quo, it's only fair
You really are a demon, pet

You knew my game the day we met

Hear my hope
Let it thunder
Across this prideful ring
'Til every last soul sings
Ah, fuck it, come on

Take my hand (We'll take your hand)
Feel the wonder

Wait, what?
In perfect harmony (Not what we planned)
We'll change our destiny

What the fuck is happening?

And many years from now
If any live to hear this song (If we live)
Stop it right now

The story about how we learned, together, we are strong

No, no-no-no, no, no!
It began with just one note

Stop it, I hate this

A crescendo 'til the end, no matter what it takes
You're ruining everything

Hear my hope
