lyrics

The Art of Hopelessness
Lyrics by C. Cochran

All - Hope is frail, trod upon by the hierarchy
Suffocate, ambition betrays us all
Light the pyres with the perfect fires
Our dying dreams will light the night

When hopes and dreams become perdition
The undead husk is all that’s left

Hope is lost, burned away by the sons of kings
Hearts turn black, sick and cold and devoid of life
Light the pyres with the perfect fires
Our dying dreams will light the night

When hopes and dreams become perdition
Die

Pre-Chorus
Die in the fires, die in the fires of ambition
Die in the fires, die in the fires of ambition
The dogs will feed on the hopes of the peasants

Chorus
With smoke filled lungs we will die trying - Hopelessness
Our children will only know failure - No
With smoke filled lungs we will die trying - Hopelessness
Our children will only know the rotting husk of the undead dreamer

Bridge
The bridge too far is now the bridge that we want to burn
Burn down the golden house
Entomb the golden crown
Cut out the golden pound
Time for steel

Pre-Chorus

Chorus
