When Hope Dies...

Sky parts, earth tremors, and death itself flees the battlefield

When hope dies.

Everything is reduced to anything

And anything to nothing,

Which doesn't matter anymore.

When hope dies.

The universe ceases to exist,

Tombstone becomes the best resort,

And the only thirst for blood grows.

When hope dies.

Protector becomes the destroyer

And seeking revenge becomes fuel to the fire,

Where to acquire justice is the only desire.

When hope dies.

Will loses, desires bruises

And darkness engulfs the light,

When hope dies.

Faith betrays and loves becomes hate

When brutality is all that prevails.

When hope dies

Trust shatters in a thousand pieces

And bleeding soul carry the scars of war

Where battle may be won but the spirit was lost

Humanity is squashed under cruelty's reign,

Strength is clasped by weakness' chains

And all your courage seems to be in vain.

When hope dies.
