Hope & Despair

Now is the time

To show that you care

You were offered hope

But you chose despair

Well you won't know what hit you

When it all comes down

You will crawl through the rubble

Of your one-horse town

But beware the false prophet

Who foretells of this doom

Sitting smug and complacent

In this mansion house room

Well he poisoned the bride then ran off with the groom

Now he travels by night 'neath a world weary moon

He's a wandering minstrel

In a bodily cut suit

Resplendent with afro

And electric lute

And he's speaking in riddles

And he's speaking in tongues

Whilst he plays through a fuzzbox

To an audience of one

And he's speaking in riddles

And he's speaking in tongues

But his words fall like snowflakes

Which melt in the sun

So now is the time

To show that you care

You were offered hope

But you chose despair

You were offered hope

So why choose despair?
