HOPE

And history of the earth has claimed
through breath and sweat, blood and fame,
no horrors and nightmares shall bear a name
but evil of all forms that plays the game
lets every soul burnt without flame
and death shall dance for there's no shame,
that truth is truth though often stained
that hurts be healed when love remains
that peace for bloody tears shall come to change

And history of the earth has claimed
that hope is the true core of the game.
