Weakened by the truth of life
Suffering this endless pain
Mourning the birth of time
Falling asleep to wake up in vain

Demons making trophies out of man
Nurturing from the souls of the lost
False prophets behind every lie
Predicting disaster in hope of horror

I hope death finds me
With the proper God in mind

To hope is to fear, to hope is to fear
To hope is to fear, to hope is to fear

Try to imagine not to fear
The awakening of the sleeping
Try to see this fiction in its truth
Instead of believing in a romance being

Distracted, confused
Sad, my soul's abused
I won't drift away with my tears
'Cause to hope is to fear

I hope death finds me
With the proper God in mind

To hope is to fear, to hope is to fear
To hope is to fear, to hope is to fear

Let me through this hall of light
I've got to set foot on the other side
