Hope Dies Last - Redemption

Love can be beautiful and true

And it's said it is enduring

After what you have put me through

I'm not sure that I agree

Put faith in enemies more than in friends

They're much less likely to betray

But faith is quick to fade

And when it ends

There's almost nothing that remains

Faith is quick to die these days

So often misplaced

With emptiness and sorrow

It quietly gives up the ghost

Leaving cynicism grinning in its wake

Love holds on a little longer

Its death is more violent

In the end with choking sobs

We pick up the pieces and grow

And in time we just might learn to love again

Hope has no plans of going quiet into the night

Hope dies screaming and fighting with all it has

Hope dies last

There's no dignity or shame

When hope is put to death

There's no words to soothe the pain

And you'll beg for the end to your breath

And yet hope will have you coming back for more

Hope has no plans of going quiet into the night

Hope dies screaming and fighting with all it has

Hope dies last

I am hurt but have not fallen

I am wounded but unslain

I will lay me down and bleed for a while

Then I'll rise and fight again

Is it just being stubborn

In the face of futility

Is it lack of self-respect

Or is it bravery

Maybe it's foolish to hold on in vain

But hope is not prepared to lose its fight

Hope has no plans of going quiet into the night

Hope dies screaming and fighting with all it has

It fights without concern for vanity

Dignity is sacrificed to desperation

But it might be the finest part of me

And I'll thank God that hope dies last

Though it's broken and bleeding

Hope dies last

Though it's broken and bleeding

Hope dies last

Broken and bleeding

Hope dies last

Broken and bleeding

Hope dies last

Broken and bleeding

Hope dies last

Broken and bleeding

Hope dies last
