Cessation of Hope Lyrics

There was once the dawn of tomorrow
There was once the unwritten page
There was hope we glimpsed once and held
Watched as it withered away

Do we bring our own devastation
Do we choose the hill upon which we die
The tears that fell
The cold lamentation
Thoughts that linger on through the night

There was once the dawn of tomorrow
There was once the unwritten page

Do we bring our own devastation
Do we choose the hill upon which we die
The tears that fell
The cold lamentation
Thoughts that linger on through the night

Somehow I know this pastoral glade serene
From an old recurring dream
I saw places I have never seen

The bottle
The rope
The cessation of hope
