Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth
[Verse 2]
No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbeds slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first, but I'm still here
Alone, as they are drawin' near
In Heaven, my masterpiece will finally be sung
[Verse 3]
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
[Verse 4]
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound, it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
[Verse 5]
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth
[Verse 6]
Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love
End of time, the rest is silence
[Verse 7]
Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love
End of time, the rest is silence
[Verse 8]
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
[Verse 9]
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
[Verse 10]
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
End of all hope
