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

Grab hold of your life, kiss your beautiful wife

It's gonna all end with a punch

Oh, I said hope is still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope is 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 is still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope is still a shout away

And away we shout once more

Well, 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 is still a shout away

A shout away like it was yesterday

I said hope is still a shout away

And away we shout once more

Hope

Hope

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

I said hope is still a shout away

And away we shout once more
