Hope Against Hope

Now arrives the time
 In which we own up to our addictions
 In which we admit degradation
 In which we stand naked in the light
 Of our malefaction
 Of our malefaction
 We are unclean, we are unholy
 We scratch at the sun to blot it out
 Hope is unseen, we are unworthy
 We wallow in filth with faith devout
 We are unclean, we are unholy
 We scratch at the sun to blot it out
 Hope is unseen, we are unworthy
 We wallow in filth with faith devout
 We pray for the time to draw near
 In which we rise from devastation
 In which we lift from malediction
 In which we bask in the unrelenting light
 Of revelation
 Of revelation
 We are unclean, we are unholy
 We scratch at the sun to blot it out
 Hope is unseen, we are unworthy
 We wallow in filth with faith devout
 We are unclean, we are unholy
 We scratch at the sun to blot it out
 Hope is unseen, we are unworthy
 We wallow in filth with faith devout
 We hope against hope
 Raise our eyes to the skies
 And hope against hope
 Hope against hope
 Now the time has come
 In which we come to the realization
 That there is no loving salvation
 And there will be not emancipation
 We are slaves to our annihilation
 We are slaves to the institution
 And there is no absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 We hope against hope
 Raise our eyes to the skies casting brimstone down upon us
 Hope against hope
 Hope against hope
 There is no loving salvation
 And there will be not emancipation
 We are slaves to our annihilation
 We are slaves to the institution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
 No absolution
