All Hope Is Gone

The state of the nation - violation
A broken promise is as good as a lie
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
And we will burn because we won't unite
 
We won't witness anymore freedom.
What are we conceding for our freedom?
I would rather fight
Than let another die
We're the problem
But we're also the solution
 
All hope is gone !
 
If you want you cannot take it from me
If you think you can, you still don't know me
Let me tell you man, i said it ,i meant it
And i will always have the right to defend it
 
Fifty seconds, a hundred murders
The bill of rights is a bill of sale
What will you do when the war is over ?
What will you do when your systems fail ?
 
We have made the presence obsolete
What do you want ?
What do you need ?
We'll find a way
When all hope is gone
 
We watched the fall of the elite
Bury your life
Take your disease
We'll end the world
When all hope is gone
 
We have made the presence obsolete
What do you want ?
What do you need ?
We'll find a way
When all hope is gone
 
We watched the fall of the elite
Bury your life
Take your disease
We'll end the world
When all hope is gone
 
The wretched are the wounded
The hungry starved to death
At a place where no-one goes
The air itself is a final breathe
So discontinue
The antisceptic care charade
As the cry of justice comes
A malignant fire fades
 
I am the reason your future suffers
I am the hatred you won't embrace
I am the worm of a pure gestation
I am the remedy, spit in my face
All your lies and wars are out-dated
All you subjects are ****ing the kings
I could rattle on a million other reasons why
But does it matter when the only thing we love will die ?
 
We have made the presence obsolete
What do you want ?
What do you need ?
We'll find a way
When all hope is gone
 
We watched the fall of the elite
Bury your life
Take your disease
We'll end the world
When all hope is gone
 
We've made the presence obsolete
What do you want ?
What do you need ?
We'll find a way (We'll find a way)
When all hope is gone
 
We watched the fall of the elite
Bury your life
Take your disease
We'll end the world (We'll end the world)
When all hope is gone
 
When all hope is gone !
 
When all hope is gone !
 
When all hope is gone !

Annotations

We watched the fall of the elite: This line is referencing the popular video game franchise “Halo”. A game Mick was a big fan of. The “fall of the elite” is referencing an event in “Halo 2” where the sangheli (elites) are betrayed by the high prophets of the Covenant (also known as the Great Schism). During the campaign, we the player (Master Chief) witnesses the Great Schism firsthand.
