HOPE FOR THE DYING LYRICS

1. City Of Corpses

You are the walking dead
Will you be turned to ashes
For all your lies
Dear Adelaide,
When will you rest
Your time has come, truly
From the absence of clean hands
Innocence lost

Dragged from the river torrents
Are the bodies of all of you
Your final breath approaches, as death closes in
When will she turn from her lies
Millions of people, will your fate reign down from the sky
On the City of Corpses
Innocence lost

Dragged from the river torrents
Are the bodies of all of your youth
Dear Adelaide,
When will you rest
Your time has come, it's through
The absence of clean hands
Destruction stands before her
The city laid to waste
Their sins have turned to ashes
She sealed her own fate

2. A Beautiful Day For Vengeance

I grasp the hilt in judgment
The blade is double edged
Engraved in it the names who
Continue to transgress
My arrows drunk with blood
My sword devours the flesh
The blood of slain and captives
Their doubts are laid to rest
Where will you go where you will hide
Where will you go with your pride
This is your last chance
To plead for mercy
The final hour approaches
Your time is drawing near
Your mind engulfed with times when
The warning signs were clear
Your blood spews out on top of
Years worth of hate and sin
Your last words never spoken
Know my avenger is here
And He is taking no prisoners
Fall to your knees and worship
For the hour of judgment
Is upon you
My brethren, I beg of you
Do not seek your own vengeance
My brothers, do not be overcome with evil
But find triumph in what is good

3. Into Darkness We Ride

Forever, man spent searching for answers
Never knowing just what to believe
How can, in this tragedy we call life
Can we be so blind to what's real
Nothing here is permanent
Nothing stays the same
Abandoned and hopeless
we're falling away
We are falling away

So down the narrow road we will travel
Never knowing what lies ahead
Contemplating this choice we have chosen
Will it lead to our life or our death?
So down the narrow road we will travel
Never knowing what lies ahead
Contemplating this choice we have chosen
Will it lead to our life or our death?

For this journey will bring many trials
And these trials will bring many sins
So today we ready our horses
And ride through the darkness, again
This wasteland, no roads fit to travel
Still will not slow us down
This hatred, we are sure to encounter
Is the least of our worries for now
The lights growing dimmer now
The flames seem slow
The darkness consuming the unoccupied gallows we've left down below
Nothing here is permanent
Nothing stays the same
Abandoned and hopeless we're falling away
We are falling away

4. Our Fallen Comrades

This lonely field waits...
This lonely field waits, just begs for battle
Sitting and waiting, scared for our lives
Does this, will this require
More than I have inside
I now have to face what I must do
For the first time
This moment of truth will I keep fighting
If it cost me my life
Flesh to steel or blood to blade
We have lost a million brothers in blood
We brothers in blood crawl through these trenches
Already wounded but chosen to fight
Why do these soldiers attack our fallen
A sovereignty not meant to die

Tell my Father I fought my best
Tell my Father
Tell my Father I fought my best
Tell my Father

This war is never ending...
Tell Him, please tell Him no, I don't wanna die
No, no I don't, no I don't want to die...

5. Where We Are Going We Don't Need Roads

I will go, leveling mountains
These will break, I'm not afraid
My eyes now open, from prophet's wisdom
An army burns in front of me
When we see the truth we will be set free
What sit we then, projecting peace and war
Unclean blood no longer clings
What sit we then, projecting peace and war
Unclean blood no longer clings to our hands
I will be strong, as this battle rages
Knowing the end, before it starts
Straining to hear, all of the captain's orders
Rousing myself to die again
When we see the truth we will be set free
Where will you stand
The time is now
The seen and unseen a constant back and forth
But only we decide the worth

6. Would The Angels Say

I heard the angels say
I wish that we could wake this sleeping city
So desolate
I wish that they'd remove the veil from their face
I heard them say
Yet they remain...
Take their hearts and mold them to everything that you are
Take their souls; ignite them until they burn for you
Make this day, the day your reckoning bestowed
On hungry hearts, the flavor of mercy and justice
Would the angels say
I wish could wake these sleeping people
We see them lay
So beautiful, perfect and perfectly broken
Yet we see them lay
And they remain...

7. In Loving Memory

I never conceived this pain
And I know your time was short, but I never expected
That those words you said would stay with me forever
And those words I said would be the last you heard
But it all is over now, and we'll never have the chance again
I want you to know I'm sorry
(You should have listened to me, you should have listened to me)
All the times I told you how I wanted to know what you believed
I wish I'd have known you're sorry
I never accepted the fact
That I may never see you again
And those words you said cause pain I can't regress
And those words I said never will forget
And those days where we just wasted both our breaths
And I'll never have the freedom of knowing
While I'm here, and I'm screaming these words
But it all is over now, and we'll never have this chance again
I want you to know I'm sorry
(You should have listened to me, you should have listened to me)
And the chance has passed us by, and we both may never meet again
I wished I'd have known you're sorry
I left that way with nothing left to say, nothing to say
But I should have told you...
That I could have been the one to yell you of a Man
Who could have saved your soul and saved me from eternal guilt
And wondering, guessing, when will we meet again
Asking questions like how and why would He would let you die without me even there
To say goodbye or apologize for things that should've been said instead of screamed
And the chance to not spend my life wondering
But no, no, no, no, that chance is gone...
