As Hope Dies

Awaken

As Hope Dies


Awaken from this slumber 
Awaken from this dream 
Remove this blindfold 
Of perfect words 
That have done nothing 
But deceive 
I hope for voices 
To scream in harmony 
Against the stronghold 
That has taken so many 
By there throats 
I hope for voices 
To sing in harmony 
And for us to stand 
With bleeding hearts 
And to look away from the sky 
That offers us nothing but poison 
And to look at one another 
And to look at one another 
For this is your first glimpse 
Of purity 
This is reality 
Do not be deceived 
By the shallow beauty of words 
Your God 
Your writings 
Your actions 
Will burn to nothing 
In this war
