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
