No good news, nothing bad can shock him anymore
Anyone not just on the take to wake his old faith for
All the kings who’ve come and gone
Pledges breached once on the throne
And the ones who cared are silent, scared, dead or alone
He has no hope
No hope for the world, no belief in any other to come
No hope for the world, no relief till death’s oblivion
He’s a champion of man’s peace and enlightenment
If we’ve gone to the moon, he says, we can disarm armaments
Catch our hearts up with our brains
So our thoughts and works wax sane
Build a bridge of trust to “them” who are “us” with different names
He still has hope
Still hope for the world, still belief in the good in everyone
Still hope for the world, that one day we’ll come together as one
Over there, ‘cross the river styx awaits his goal
Out of space, out of chronos, kyros, homeland of the soul
But for now chant, meditate,
Pray and plod through this world’s weight
He’s deferred his bliss ‘cause hope for this world is too late
He has no hope
No hope for the world, yet belief in a new one to come
Whose inhabitants will be salvaged from the present one
Hope for the world, yet belief in a new one to come
Whose inhabitants will be salved from the present one…
(repeat twice)
Hope for the world, yet belief in a new one to come……
