Lyrics Defeat of Despair - The Last Hangmen

Defeat of Despair

like lightning it struck my mind
that dark voice from the past
blaming me for wasted years
chasing dreams that will not last
my timeglass is running out of sand
a black veil darkens the sky
fate was never in my hands
and all the shadows seemed to cry:
take me away from here!
light me a new path!
my last hope died so long ago,
please restore it now!
please restore it now!
the sun and the stars had left my world
I was blinded by ignorance so cold
my ways never crossed happyness
my steps led nowhere in the end
I craved for salvation this night
at the horizon a light was shining bright
my eyes fell on it and I knew
that my time until now was thrown away
your light has guided me
back to myself I’ve found
dreams are never in vain
so I finally rose from my knees
with a reborn soul
touched the luck for just one second
and escaped from the cold.
and escaped from the cold
and escaped from the cold
my last hope died long ago
but you’ve restored it now!
