HOPE FOR THE DYING LYRICS

1. Acceptance

Stand tall, we are surrounded by hatred
Left to defend our rights and wrongs
We're segregated to other worlds
Classified as the blind

We are part of the living breathing
And we are not the only ones
We are more than self-righteous patrons
And we are not the only ones

Shattered, we must pick up the pieces
Misrepresented and libeled
Decorated with shame

I am appalled
At the animosity we have created
I am appalled

Look at all we have become
Look at all we have become

We are part of the living breathing
And we are not the only ones
We are more than self-righteous patrons
And we are not the only ones

2. Reformation

Light the torches
Begin the gathering
Lift up your voice
We will be heard
We will be heard

March we as one
The reformation has begun

Across the face of the earth
No mountain too tall
Until our last breath escapes our lips we will not falter

March we as one
The reformation has begun

Our hands have been trained for war
Our fingers prepared prepared for battle
Our shield and fortress our fortress be known
Our only stronghold and our deliverer

March we as one
The reformation has begun
March we as one
The reformation has begun

Go ignite the fires
The eyes of the universe
Have never seen
Lift up the signs
The signs of tomorrow
Behold a message
Soon to be known

The heavens may fall
And the earth melt around us
But we will continue
Marching on

The reformation has begun

3. Iniquitous

I feel the rise of the fires as we prepare to go down in flames
The final shreds of humanity are hanging by a thread
Lost in our insurrection we claim to know the way
While our supposed ministries only seek, only seek further acclaim

I am disgusted...
You only spread your delusions
I am depleted by the sickness you convey

Falsify and mock the only chance you have for redemption
Bend and mold the Word, until it meets your necessity
Flood us with your gimmicks and pretentious lines
Until you almost believe the lies yourself

Prey on the naive and profit from their generosity
Form a line and pass around your hat like you deserve a single cent
No, we won't, we won't stand, stand for this any longer
We won't, we won't stand by and watch you destroy us all

We won't watch you destroy us

The time for formalities is gone
And now, your profiteering will come to an end

4. In Isolation

I walked alone
Alone
I walked alone
Alone

The ever approaching horizon
My endless friend and tormentor
My battered skin betrays my convictions
My destination still unknown
I walked alone

How I long for rest
And for the sake of my weary eyes

I am the barren traveler
I am the wayward son
I am the faithless warrior
I am the abandoned one

The ever approaching horizon
My endless friend and tormentor
My battered skin betrays my convictions
My destination still unknown

Oh! Lift me up!
Oh! Lift me up!
And carrie me, carrie me home
I no longer, I no longer wish to walk alone

For so long, I thought I'd walked alone
You were there, You were there all along
You were there, You were there all along

I never walked, never walked alone
I never walked alone
I never walked alone
I never walked alone
You carried me

5. Through A Nightmare, Darkly

[Instrumental]

6. The Lost

I've seen the lost tread the fiery path towards no tomorrow
And I've watched the dead burn a generation to the ground
I saw them burn it down, watched them burn it down

Breathing the smoke as it arrives
Fire reflecting in their eyes

And as the flames slowly burn away any revocation
We face the last chance to turn away from these fallen times
This is our time to rise

We stand by our delusions
We rest in our denial
Who will rise
Who will rise

We can't ignore the writing on the walls
Can't ignore the writing on the walls

And as the ash begins to fall
With final judgment on us all
Nothing left but silence now
Time to reconcile our doubts

We stand by our delusions
We rest in our denial
Who will rise
Who will rise
[x2]

7. Visions

I wake from sleep
Another morning like any other
Unaware of the events I'm destined to witness
As I fall to the ground
And destruction surrounds me
I am blinded
I am deafened by the blow

Oh how was I to know

I wipe the dust from my eyes
And through the haze
The barren ground where a city used to stand

As smoke makes way
For suffering
Can I believe what I am seeing

Is there nothing left at all

Oh how the earth
Is laid to waste by the touch of your hand

I've walked the streets
Looking for someone, searching for something
And I've only found
Nothing is left for me, nothing here is left for me at all

The stars lose their shine
While nothing but darkness encloses the sky
Then I begin to see
A light in the distance that's calling for me

Oh how the earth
Is laid to waste by the touch of your hand
[x2]

8. Serenity

Let me cover you
Find a way home
Feel me cover you
We aren't alone

Let me cover you
Find a way home
Feel me over you
We aren't alone

9. Open Up The Sky

Thousands weep in vain
Did we depend
On what we didn't know
For our survival

Broken we have turned
Scattered by the world
Resting in ourselves
For our salvation

No, is this really true?
Could we have failed?
Is this our final chance
To fully surrender?

Let the light surround us
Let our hearts be torn
Let our pride fall
Let our voices be heard
I surrender all

Eyes to the sky we've lost our faith with our face to the earth
We left our dependence within, can we begin again

Devoid of masters I fared better on my own

We spend our days waiting for the sun to rise again
Bringing us the answers to our faults
Can we forfeit our thoughts and our desperate need for more
Can we surrender
Can we surrender
Can we surrender

Let it go, let it fall, all I have gone

All of the earth can fade
Lifting my hands I fall
Nothing can cloud my heart
I will let it go

Forfeit all I'll ever become
Standing empty waiting to be filled
With the essence of God

Close up the earth, command the clouds
Let the rain fall, the water pouring down
Flood all the rivers, the oceans overflow
Open up the sky, open up the sky.
