Hope

It's another eight years of the same bloody fears

As the engine that grinds to a halt

No more of this rhetoric, our words they are septic

There's blood on the hands of us all

So let's tune ourselves out

Dig our heads in the ground

We'll watch as the tide drifts away

Drop holier life

Kiss your beautiful wife

It's gonna all end with a punch

Oh, I said hope

It's still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope

It's still a shout away

And away we shout once more

There's no black without tan said the fiery young man

With a vengeance he'll never let go

His mother and father, their parents before them

All dreamt of a place to call home

But hope is the killer

To those who died willing

May they rest

In their peace

We now break

Oh now hope

Is none the wiser

It breaks bread

With the mindless

There's no ghosts

Only bodies

Haunt the grave

Haunt the grave

Oh, I said hope

It's still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope

It's still a shout away

And away we shout once more

But maybe I'm wrong, but I've tried all along

To make sense of this hell up above

Our pockets still empty, the virus now spreading

The joy of this madness behold

So say that our sins, we had none to begin

For as mortals we baptize the soul

There's always a day when you hear someone say

With the young tell me it's a joke

It's no joke

Oh, I said hope

It's still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope

It's still a shout away

And away we shout once more

I said hope, still a shout away

I said hope, still a shout away

I said hope, still a shout away

And away we shout once more

Once more

Ahh, I said hope

It's still a shout away

And away we shout once more
