No Hope

~NO HOPE~

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER
WHEN YOU BREATHED YOUR LAST
THEN LISTEN WELL
AS THE DEVIL LAUGHS

HE HAS YOU NOW
NO WHERE TO RUN
YOUR LIFE IS OVER
BUT IT'S JUST BEGUN

AS DEMONS COME
TO TAKE YOU AWAY
YOU PLEAD FOR MERCY
BUT YOU HAVE NO SAY

YOU SPENT YOUR LIFE
IN CRUELTY AND GREED
FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN
YOU HAD NO NEED

THE FIRES, THEY BURN
AS TRUTH BECOMES CLEAR
THE THINGS YOU HELD CLOSE
WON'T BE FOUND HERE

THE SUNLIGHT YOU SAW
THE RAINDROPS YOU FELT
THE CRYSTAL WHITE SNOW
THAT YOU ONCE WATCHED MELT

THEY DON'T EXIST HERE
NEVER MORE TO BE SEEN
WELCOME TO FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
IN YOUR NIGHTMARE DREAM

YOU SEE NOT A SOUL
YET HEAR EVERY SCREAM
AS YOU GAZE INTENTLY
INTO THE FIERY RED STREAMS

"NO HOPE" YOU CRY
AS YOU LOOK UPWARD
ONLY TO REALIZE
THERE IS NO SKY

NO HOPE, NO HOPE
JUST TWO SMALL WORDS
YOU THOUGHT THEM A JOKE
IN YOUR ONCE MORTAL WORLD

THROUGH GUILE AND CRUELTY
YOUR POCKETS WERE FILLED
NO THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
NOR DREAMS THAT YOU KILLED

AND AS I STAND HERE
I TELL YOU TRUE
THE LAND OF NO HOPE
NOW WELCOMES YOU

SO HERE YOU ARE
IN YOUR NEW FOUND HOME
YOU'RE THE FOCUS OF ATTENTION
YET TOTALLY ALONE

NO MAID NOR BUTLER
TO ANSWER YOUR CALL
NO BIG FINE HOUSE
ON THE HILL SO TALL

NO MORE SUNNY DAYS
NO WALKS BENEATH THE SILVERY MOON
FROM THIS DAY FORTH
YOU WANDER IN SMOKEY GLOOM

THIS LAKE OF FIRE
YOU SEE BEFORE YOU
MADE BY FREE WILL
IN YOUR DAYS OF GLORY

THIS LAKE WAS BUILT
UPON OTHERS' BROKEN DREAMS
AND SET TO FIRE
WITH ALL YOUR SCHEMES

I'LL LEAVE YOU NOW
FOR THIS IS NOT MY HOME
YOUR TIME HAS COME
TO LEARN OF BEING ALONE

HEED WELL THE BREEZE THAT
BLOWS YET DOES NOT COOL
IT HAS A VERY SPECIAL TALE
FOR YOU....NO HOPE
