Hope Is Lost

Lost, we're at a loss
And all will cease to be
Fallen, now there is dark
Our light's not enough to see
The shadows choke like the dust and smoke
Its the blind leading the blind
Whether we are joined as one
Or left alone
Tomorrow we will die

I feel like I failed
Won't try to mask the sorrow
And though we might still last tomorrow
Hope is lost

Now at the end
I'm searching for the sun
I've felt its life a thousand times
Now forgotten what it's like
The darkness falls like blackened walls
And fires the only light
Never feel its warmth again
What could have been
Desire in your eyes

I feel like I failed
Won't try to mask the sorrow
And though we might still last tomorrow
Hope is lost

Go back to where it all began
Eternity in seconds
And history repeats
Go back to where it started
It's not that hard to see
We're rooted in our faithlessness
And history repeats

[In the final days of our existence here
I hope humanity can turn around and see
The sacrifices made, the blood and tears they shed
How at the end, we find it never mattered
No heroic tales will be recited then
No stories or songs to carry on the names
All wars will be forgotten, all fame will be erased
Now at the end, we find it all a waste]

I feel like I failed
Won't try to mask the sorrow
I doubt we'll ever see tomorrow

We see the fall coming
Fate is carved upon the wall
As the universe is fading
We're digging our own graves
And we will sing this song tomorrow

"We gather in the night
The writers of the hopeless song
Together in the dark
We pray for one last note to sing
We're lost but not afraid
Our voices cry in unison
For those who lost their way
We pray for one last song"

I cry into the night
The writer of this hopeless song
Collapsed, eyes to the sky
I pray for one last scream

Hope is lost
No longer waiting for the gods
Or for the chosen ones
No heroes there will be
And history repeats

Go back to where it all began
Eternity in seconds
And history repeats
Go back to where it started
It's not that hard to see
We're rooted in our faithlessness
And history repeats

I write this as a warning
And I write this is a plea
Until your dying breath escapes you
Your hope can never die
So take these words I gave you
And tally up the cost
Cause the day we give up fighting
Is the day that hope is lost
