No Hope

By Nadja Lee   28/01/02

 

 

Look out the window

Trees dying

People killing people

Children lost

The world is ablaze

 

They say peace

They mean war

They say justice

They think money

 

Hate needs no reason

To grow

Like a river it runs

And destroys all in its path

 

Hope is a flower

It dies slowly

Strangled in

Broken promises

And lost dreams

 

Silence is the answer

To everything

Nothing is ever explained

It just is

 

Searching for a meaning

In the madness

Will give a false illusion

Or an answer you don’t want to find

 

Romance is long dead

Chivalry never existed

Honour is a word misused

And twisted for evil

 

Trust is a word

Used between battles

When both sides

Gather more weapons

 

Men of peace

Are lost forever

Men of war

Live forever

 

Live by the sword

Die by the pen

The strongest has the right

The weakest is overlooked

 

Money talks for the mighty

People speak with two tongues

Voices of reason are drowned

Lost in the sea of hate

 

We're our own Hell,

There's no hope for us

Peace is a sweet dream

I can no longer find.
