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.

Trust shatters in a thousand pieces

Faith betrays and loves becomes hate

When brutality is all that prevails.

When hope dies

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.

Bleeding soul carry the scars of war

Where battle may be won but the spirit was lost

When hope dies

The squire becomes the tyrant

and the naive girl becomes ruthless queen

where every person is just another pawn in the game.

When hope dies.

Seeing hope die you die a hundred more times

but you must have done something wrong

because you have to live bearing the burden on your damaged soul all life long

Your life becomes an ever-lasting night of which there is no dawn,

because despite of whatever you do the hope is long gone

hope is long gone...
