Hope Begets Hope

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 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 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 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 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 Hope begets hope Stand strong to the winds of adversity Hope begets hope Stand your ground I know, we won't go No marching orders, get up off of your knees now Hope begets hope Stand your ground 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 forever we sound Take my hand and never let me drown 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 Hope begets hope Stand strong to the winds of adversity Hope begets hope Stand your ground I know, we won't go Fuck their orders, get up off your knees now Hope begets hope Face, the flaws on your soul Let, the truth unfold We're gonna live forever
