Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Hope is a fear of the disappointed
The ignorance of suffering
It is a hope for the common children
To dream alike and become a king
[Verse 2]
Hope is a last straw of depression
[?] about to break
If hope is your salvation
You'll need another life to take
[Verse 3]
She saw a void that we filled with nonsense
She burned it down for the next one
If you want your flavour, she said
It's in the barrel of a gun
[Verse 4]
Raise the core of your depression
Make love your wrecking fear
Impermanence is your salvation
Abandon hope if you wanna hear
[Chorus]
Time will catch us all
Embrace no good at all
[Verse 5]
Hope is a fear of the disappointed
The ignorance of suffering
Hope is a last straw of depression
[?] is about to break
[Verse 6]
She saw a void that we filled with nonsense
She burned it down for the next one
Impermanence is your salvation
Abandon hope if you wanna hear
[Chorus]
Time will watch us fall
Embrace no good at all
Time will watch us fall
Embrace no good at all
[Outro]
Time
Time
