Derision - Hope for the Dying

Stand tall, we are surrounded by hatred Left to defend our rights and wrongs We're segregated to other worlds Classified as the blind We are part of the living breathing And we are not the only ones We are more than self-righteous patrons And we are not the only ones Shattered, we must pick up the pieces Misrepresented and libeled Decorated with shame I am appalled At the animosity we have created I am appalled Look at all we have become Look at all we have become We are part of the living breathing And we are not the only ones We are more than self-righteous patrons And we are not the only ones

Fearless people, careless needle Harsh words spoken and lives are broken Forceful ageing, help me I'm fading Heaven's waiting, it's time to move on Crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned Playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you Life carries on, it goes on Just say die and that would be pessimistic In your mind we can walk across the water Please don't cry it's just a prayer for the dying I just don't know what's got into me Been crossin' that bridge with lessons I've learned Playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you There is a light through that window Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No" Life carries on, it goes on I'm crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned I'm playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you There is a light through that window Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No" 'Cause life carries on, it goes on It goes on, life carries on When nothing else matters When nothing else matters I just don't know what's got into me It's just a prayer for the dying, for the dying
