Hope Of The Dead

Help thou mine unbelief but I can see right through the veil/
the greatest attempt in histories illusion is now about to fail.
Covered up tombs and emptied out wombs--baskets full of illusions to be/
Age-old lies and broken peace-ties pave the way to eternity.

CHORUS:
Is this the hope of the living? Is this all that has to be said?
Is this the future of humanity? Is this the hope of the dead (yeah yeah)

Father please forgive me but I can't see the light/
The light of this world and its reflections have been overcome by night.
Tarnished brass and broken stained-glass--proof the destroyer is me & you/
Cankered-gold and love waxed cold--deep inside we always knew.

(CHORUS)

I cry for a deliverer but I see no deliverance ahead/
Hope has built many temples but the steeples mark the tombs of the dead.
Shadows fill eyes--your dead will not rise--the darkest sabbath this world ever knew/
Spiders domain/preacher's insane--you've come to know the real you.

(CHORUS)
Is this the hope of the living? Is this the hope of the dead?
There is Hope for the living--there is Hope for the dead!!! (yeah yeah yeah)
