Desperate With Hope

Tell me the story
Of love and glory
Where purity belongs to

Tell me the tale
Of lie and betrayal
Where truth is revealed

Chapter fades in a sleep
With last taken pill
You disappear in shadows

Ruin it all
Burn down the truth
Haunted and lost
You are desperate with your fear of hope
Afraid and forlorn
You are out of love

Wake up, don’t die
It’s not your time
Don’t pretend sleeping
Forgive this haunted feeling

Chapter fades in a sleep
With last taken pill
Deeper in darkness you’re falling

Ruin it all
Burn down the truth
Haunted and lost
You are desperate with your fear of hope
Afraid and forlorn
You are out of love

Ruin it all
Burn down your last chord
Torn from your throat
Through the veiling dream

And it’s dying
The life you’ve been trying to save
There is nothing left for it

“I don’t want you to die.”
Don’t cry, dear child
You will survive…

Sink in blood of your own kind
Leaving your last hope behind
Believe in a dream
In the end burning the truth
You will finally see
You are me
