Hope and Despair - Live

A balanced pair known as hope and despair
Try to get the word around but who really cares
Be not afraid of darkness but keep to the light
A song for daylight hours and a song for the night

I feel your fear from just a mile away
Unknown tragedy is just like you say
But only you can repair with a little help
You swallow pride and a light sense of hope is felt

I see your pain, it's in your smile
It's all in vain
Hope and despair
I still see light, but it's grown dim
Doom still in sight
Hope and despair

It's raining hard and the storm's just begun
I hear someone knocking soft on the door
There is a dream lost somewhere in the world
Blink out of tales into real life details

I see your pain, it's in your smile
It's all in vain
Hope and despair
I still see light, but it's grown dim
Doom still in sight
Hope and despair

The evening feels like a map of the down
And twisted arms trying hard to let loose
Long harbored anger falls to earth with no sound
Withered brushstrokes decorate without paint

I see your pain, it's in your smile
It's all in vain
Hope and despair
I still see light, but it's grown dim
Doom still in sight
Hope and despair
