Hope Begets Hope

[Verse 1]

My eyes see through the lies

And I see the wolves among the sheep

I smell the fear inside

And the odor brings me to my knees

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm at the end of my rope hanging on

These scars are dragging on my soul

And we won't let go

We could live forever if we just let go now

[Chorus]

Hope begets hope

Stand strong

To the winds of adversity

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

And, no, we won't go

No marching orders

Get up off of your knees now

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

[Verse 2]

I crawl on to the pyre

And the flames they purify my pain

I'm writhing in desire

All this hatred has been all in vain

[Pre-Chorus]

Have you ever been the hated one

Face-to-face with the flaws upon your soul?

Let the truth unfold

We could live forever if we just let go now

[Chorus]

Hope begets hope

Stand strong

To the winds of adversity

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

And, no, we won't go

No marching orders

Get up off of your knees now

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

[Bridge]

I will prevail

And I've been running from

The long arm of the law

I've got to live for better days

This depression that's inside of me

It eats away at the bones that are supporting me

I have to fight back with our every sound

Take my hand and never let me drown

Now

[Guitar Solo]

So, tell me, have you ever been the hated one

Face-to-face with the flaws upon your soul?

Let the truth unfold

We could live forever if we just let go now

[Chorus]

Hope begets hope

Stand strong

To the winds of adversity

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

And, no, we won't go

Fuck their orders

Get up off your knees now

Hope begets hope

Stand your ground

[Outro]

Face the flaws on your soul

Let the truth unfold

We're gonna live forever
