Stillborn Hope

 

Vocal intro to song (spoken word to alt. rock music)
 
in          Struck by indecision, we stop and stare
            Stupid, and silent, not having a care
           
v1         A generation, a variable, nearly lost to itself
            All our dreams and hopes gathering dust on a shelf
            Our eyes wide open, looking on in fear and dispair
            Upon the cruel world through which we must fare
 
ch1       Fair, dancing nightmares of tomorrows yet
            Future presents' debt, met stillborn of fret
            Run away, run run away       
 
v2         We don’t realize we’re the first so young
            Curmudgeons whose tales will never be sung
            So we quit and we fail before we’ve begun
            not realizing what we could still do
 
ch2       Fair, dancing nightmares of tomorrows yet
            Future presents' debt, met stillborn of fret
            Run away, run run away
            Run away, run run away
 
Guitar solo
 

v3         Hope yet that fate becries
            Something else better than today's pale lies
            Or stronger and purer, than the nation that dies
            Bleeding and screaming, right before us
 
ch3       Fair, dancing nightmares of tomorrows yet
            Future presents' debt, met stillborn of fret
            Run away, run run away
            Run away, run run away
 
ch4       Fair, dancing nightmares of tomorrows yet
            Future presents' debt, met stillborn of fret
            Run away, run run away
            Run away, run run away
            Run away
 
Quick band wind-down
