Hyperion - The k**ing Hope lyrics

Hiding, covering There’s no time to blench We are going to die Stuck down in this trench With no safe escape Waiting, for backups Which may never come In this bloody madness We’ll have to hang on To one k**ing hope Taught to obey and serve Succeed at any price Dreaming for a miracle But meant to sacrifice Say your final prayers As the captain said ’cause tomorrow morning We’ll be dead Wait for the cavalry War rages on the battlefield Nothing to do but hope For the cavalry to come We are on our own Digging, crawling Creeping in the mud Rain of shells and bullets Spilling out our blood We fall one by one Searching, for shelter In the dug-out nest Enemies are closing-in Will it ever ends? The onslaught begins Slaughtered by the artillery Way out of supplies Hiding under corpses Between rats and fleas and lice Say your final prayers As the captain said We’ll be storming towards No man’s land Wait for the cavalry War rages on the battlefield Nothing to do but hope For the cavalry to come We are on our own The runner came Brought down our faith We were left to fight their war The runner came The message said “There’s no backups, you’re alone!” Wait for the cavalry War rages on the battlefield Nothing to do but hope For the cavalry to come We are on our own
