Hope Is Rising

(album: Ending Is Beginning - 2008)

I've lost all my earthly optimism
That it's all going to be all right
That the good will win this fight
Somewhere between youth
And disappointments
The dream became despair
The love became a lie

Just now, I've reached
The end of my line
Just now, I'm too tired
To keep on trying

Hope is rising
It's a sunrise for the end
Hope is rising
And it's breathing for me again
Hope is rising again

Soon beneath the roses I will lie
All the memories of my days
Gathered to the sky
Soon every work
Will find its worth
And all my strength returned
To the water and the earth

Just when I reach
The end of my life
Just when my eyes
Dim out the last light

From the sorrow, from the fear
From the loss and from the tears
From the darkness, from the pain
From the fall and from the grave
