Hope lyrics by Swallow The Sun

1. Hope

Deep into the flesh the arrow cut From the hope of a hunter's bow Wounded we fall With bleeding hearts we crawl Taking shelter from the arrows Cut the trembling flesh And don't let the tears tame you Rip your arrows out And make them cut deeper Crush my mouth, for it still sings praises to you Run the blood out from my throat For I'm still your's "And the hope will die When the curtains fall And silence the pain" We drink from the well The well of poisoned hope Until the water will burn All pure hearts away Keep your eyes on the wounds Those rivers will run dry soon Will it leave you wanting more The taste of flesh that bleeds in your honour...

2. These Hours Of Despair

Im buried in the snow As your blackened heart finally got frozen No daylight in the horizon Your warm and loving flames of wrath Shall be my guiding light Light has faded As has the touch of your palms No more songs of joy Only dreadful silence And painful memories Was it my shadow That eclipsed the sun in your heart? Was the ice cold river Your final relief? Light, joy, hope, trust All is lost These hours of despair Pitch-black holes in my soul All is lost I cant forgive myself I will follow you

3. The Justice Of Suffering

I curse the love for you And the pale souls you have tasted The sings of filthy passion Will soon turn to cries of pain When I claim what is mine Through the justice of suffering When the paying of her sins come closer The night will end in tears And the moment you dirt her skin with your fingers You will be sentenced the same Every second with her I count And for every second you will suffer too No light will save them now When the words of hope have all been spoken And I wash the blood from my hands And let them lie silent and cold on the flowers For my anger is greater Than the hand that once swept your cheek And my anger is greater Than the human I was I will claim that is mine Through the justice of suffering No light will save them now When the words of hope have all been spoken And I wash the blood from my hands And let them lie silent and cold on the flowers Is this poison in your womb Worth of the burning flesh In this pyre of ghost lovers But every second with her I count And for every second you will suffer too The night will end& It will end in tears soon...

4. Don´t Fall Asleep (Horror pt. 2)

Dont fall asleep To the weeping of the birds Dont fall asleep In this room of the fallen Dont fall asleep To the breathing of the walls Dont fall asleep In this room of loss Dont fall asleep In the arms of dead air Dont fall asleep In this symphony of the damned Time stands still in this chamber of pain The clock stops and the horror comes The children cry and weep In this room of the unforgiven Lie down because youll never leave Lie down, but dont fall asleep The signs show slowly with the dark They glow brighter as the shadows grow deeper Blood marks on the walls and the ceiling and on the floor and the doors, oh how they flow! Little voices like the whining of the birds As the closet door opens I still can hear them screaming And the shape& Is it me on the piano? Playing the symphony of the damned...

5. Too Cold For Tears

Sweet fall, come and take me away from this pain Towards the dark womb of winter Beautiful fall, kill the light of summer And bless us with your shades Sweet fall, chase the sun away And lay down the veil of leaves Beautiful fall, come and take me away from this pain Towards the dark womb of November To them you are the bringer of grief But you will lead me to hope Into the arms of winter frost Will you release me And silence those fears I wait for your arrival And soon it will be too cold for the tears The great clouds, I welcome your shields My old friend, will you lay me back to rest Ive been suffering so long without you Come and take me away from this pain...

6. The Empty Skies

The dead walk In the silent world Oh, how the dead talk With empty words Redemption By thought injection And the dead march To the voice of deception This is now a new beginning There will be no creation from chaos No light at the end Just a faint glimpse of the forgotten Screaming Overcome by silence Suffocated By the unspoken And the dead walk With no fear And the dead fall With the horrors of living Murky demented eyes Stare at the empty skies Desperately searching for something Something that once was there Its too late for salvation While falling to oblivion We are doomed to stagnation To witness the inverse creation...

7. No Light, No Hope

Fall deeper and deeper Dont forget what you have done Did I ever say? Some things cant be undone Fall into my darkest thoughts No light, no hope My dagger in your heart is the mark of my true love Venomous lips and poisonous words Thats what you are made of my dear Eyes wide shut, left to rot No regrets Fall into my darkest thoughts No light, no hope My dagger in your heart is the mark of my true love...

8. Doomed To Walk The Earth

Love is lost but not forgotten I keep repeating to myself every day Too many times I have seen Autumn leaves turn to snow Flowers wither to dust But I promise They will suffer well Cursed be the day When they took her away and left me to bleed to death Too many times since then I have seen all beauty die And the lakes turn to ice But I swear I will have my revenge I wander between two worlds No one can see me They just feel my cold breath behind their backs No redemption for the lost souls I am doomed to walk the earth But I swear I will put them to eternal sleep Then I can leave&
