Hopeless

from Futile by Demogorgon

lyrics

Of the plight of Sisyphus
Is the melody of life
Rolling rocks up a hill
Only to be buried and start again
In the age of hopelessness
When everything decays
We sing the songs of misery
We write an endless tragedy

Reaching out for something
Reaching out for anything
Clawing desperate in the dark

We scream our torments
We spin our web of lies
As God and the Devil
Avert their eyes
We sell our souls
We auction our dignity
Our minds are bought
With Charons currency

We have bred a monster
A beast of base desire
Fed perpetually
On the ashes of the old world
In the constant hysteria
As we feed on each other
With the honor of thieves
Of wolves among the sheep

The worlds on fire
The ashes choke the air
And yet we stoke the flames
Of our own despair
Rend the world in discord
Chaos abounds
In a sea of enmity
We drown
The false messiah
The grifter and the cheat
Bleed us of our worth
And sneer at us
We weep and gnash our teeth
And wallow in our grief
Of the hell we have made
And have the nerve to beg for sympathy

The hypocrite and fraud
The poisoners of minds
They deepen the dissonance
And widen the divide
They build their castles
On the spoils of our ruin
And moat their palaces
With the spilled blood of their followers

Reaching out for something
Reaching out for anything
Clawing desperate in the dark

The voice of reason
Scourged and crucified
On a cross of rage
Crowned with thorns of derangement
As the vultures
Claw and fight one another
Desperate for the scraps
Of the corpse of virtue

As if any of this matters
As if we could make a difference

The worlds on fire
The ashes choke the air
And yet we stoke the flames
Of our own despair
Rend the world in discord
Chaos abounds
In a sea of enmity
We drown
The false messiah
The grifter and the cheat
Bleed us of our worth
And sneer at us
We weep and gnash our teeth
And wallow in our grief
Of the hell we have made
And have the nerve to beg for sympathy
