Hope is a Lie

Verse

I can feel myself slipping

Starting to lose my hold.

Tumbling, tumbling down

Where they keep the lost souls.

Its dark it’s full of voices.

There’s misery and woe.

There’s broken men and women

Down where they keep lost souls.

Chorus

I see the light burning.

Hope is alive.

Hope is alive.

Hope is a lie.

Verse

I’m praying for salvation

But it still doesn’t come.

I’m still begging for mercy

And getting by on crumbs.

That light is always shining.

It keeps me hanging on.

Yes Satan keeps it burning

So miseries’ prolonged.

Chorus

I see the light burning.

Hope is alive.

Hope is alive.

Hope is a lie.

Bridge

Hope is all I have.

It feeds misery.

It keeps pain alive

For eternity.

Hope is a Lie

Chorus

I see the light burning.

Hope is alive.

Hope is alive.

Hope is a lie.
