Absolute Hope Absolute Hell

We could have had it all Before the wells ran dry Before the cities fell Yet we still think It'll all end well Absolute hope, absolute Hell What's there behind the eyes? Just souls & sulphur Black & cold Strip us to ashes & bone Starving for love, dying alone Watch it suffer Watch it burn Watch it die Dance with the puppetry Hollow silhouettes born of animosity Hung by the rope threaded by the kings Inhuman disaster tearing at the seams Lead us not unto temptation Lead us to the suicide of the fallen nations God of nothing Bring the sheep to the slaughter Absolute hope, absolute Hell Strip us to ashes & bone & So the apathy spread like cancer Dripping through the beams in the towers Staining the souls of the pacifists Still complacent in the final hour Distracted youth A nation of bullshit status Raked through the teeth Of the corporate apparatus We could have had it all Before the cities fell Yet we still think it'll all end well Absolute hope, absolute Hell We could have had it all
