If Hope Dies - Siege Equipment For Spiritual Decline

Those roads and streets they cut
They cut off circulation
Just like chains around my wrists
Yeah
Pushing me in these same directions
Caught in a maze of dull routine
A body in motion, a mind crippled in inertia
Looking for an avenue of escape

Begging for release, from these paths worn thin
The feelings that I've seen and done all this before

Rushing straight towards us all
We feel the callings of our futures
The push and full, the force of time continues ever forward
Our hopes and dreams overcome
Crumbled by forced reason
Two tide of age and despair
Dashing us against walls we've erected
Buried below the weight of our screams

To live and die and lose the sense of
What it is that makes us strong
Is the single greatest crime
Which we are all guilty of
To let the fire in our hearts
Wink out without slightest protest
The sound of progress thundering in our ears

To feel the wind across my face
I'll tear these towers down
And embrace the day

Rushing straight towards us all
We feel the calling of our futures
The push and pull of time
The force of time continues ever forward

To live and die and lose the sense of
What it is that makes us strong
Is the single greatest crime
Which we are all guilty of
To let the fire in our hearts
Wink out without slightest protest
The sound of progress thundering in our ears
