Heart Of A Coward - Hope And Hindrance lyrics



Tracks



01. Killing Fields

Rage!
These streets are a battleground.
With every second counting down to extinction and this world will be cursing
our name,
'till the final head will role.
This place is a killing field.
We won't get out alive, here's a picture, of your perfect fucking world.
So stand up!
A plagued race of tear-aways.
Powerless.
We stand and face wave after wave.
Is this all that you wished for?
To be one with the herd?
Is this all that you dreamt of?
This is the end of the world.
Cold shivers.
Smoke.
Mirrors.
Blood Rivers we won't get out alive.
No, we won't get out alive.
We'll never be the same again.
Time to find strength in numbers before this life will end!
We are the fuel to feed this fire.
We'll find ourselves again.
In this, our darkest hour, brothers in arms arise!
And all we need to live is right before our eyes.

02. All Eyes To The Sky

Show us what's real.
We are waiting for you.
As we call out to the sky tonight, put reason behind us.
We can't see through.
Watch will all eyes to the sky.
Just remember where you stand.

As we call out to the sky tonight, we believe that you're there.
But we can't see you.
We can't fail.
Living in fear, we cannot make sense of this.
Such emptiness eating away.
The shivers you've put up our spines, like walking over our graves.
Bound by the shackles of faith; religion's the oldest of trends.
We're always too frightened to face the truth at the end.
How can we progress from here?
Promising an afterlife.
How can we see things so clear?
We can't even see past tonight.
If only we had inspiration to press on.
Must press on.

03. Around A Girl (In 80 Days)

I can't believe you would treat me this way.
I found you out!
I hate the ground that you walk on.
Don't fucking look away.

You think I'm not going to cut you out?
Don't feel pity upon me 'cause I will end this now.
I've got nothing to say to you anymore.
I want to bury your face into the floor.
God, you're testing me I want you fucking dead.
You should have listened to me.
Should have listened to me!
I tried to forgive you for taking away my wings, I tried to forget you.
Your tricks won't save you now.
I tried to forgive you.
I tried to forget you.
Forget you.

You tried to bring me down, this time it won't be the same.
You tried to bring me down, but you will never be found.
You tried to bring me down, this time it won't be the same.
(Your world is breaking and everything's changing)
You tried to bring me down, but you will never be found.

And so we end this now.
I walk this road alone.
I left you buried deep where all your thoughts will drown.

04. We Stand as One

We're the ones that chase the sky take everything from this life!
We're the ones that'll never die.
Nothing's closer to our hearts.
We're the ones that sacrifice everything for this one life.
We will never fall apart.
I know this will last.
We've come this far we'll not let go.
We've built this world on hollow ground.
We've come this far we'll not let go.
Awaiting a better tomorrow.
Nothing can touch us.
We stand as one!
We're the ones that chase the sky take everything from this life!
We're the ones that will not die.
Nothing's closer to our hearts.
I will stand by you forever.
With this smile I'll walk on.
And I'll stand by you forever.
With this simile I won't turn back.

05. Light

If we were only to try.
To reclaim what we left behind.
This pain would then subside.
Will this take you from me, my friend?
I'll re-live those endless nights in the caverns of my mind.
I'm with you 'til the end.
Please believe in me again

06. Shade

So where are you now?
Hiding behind another masquerade.
Your deception, stripped you of all you ever loved.
You lie awake at night, afraid to even dream.
'Cause when you close your eyes, all you see is me.
There's no disguising your true nature.
You're nothing but a fucking traitor.


Suffer, bitch!


Drown in waters of depression.
Your pain is purification.
This hatred's building up.
Take one last look above.
The pressure's all too much, say goodbye to all that you love.
You know I bore you no ill will, And that you brought this upon yourself
You know I meant you no harm at all, but now I'll bring you hell!
What have you become?
You're fading.
What have you become?
You're nothing.
I will rise up to tear you down and no one will stand in my way.
I will bring you to your knees.
Our dreams were one and the same, but no more, no more!
This is nothing but a waste of emotion.
You are nothing but an insect I stamp on.
Vindication, through an onslaught of violence.
Living manifestation of nightmares.

07. Nightmare

Our lives will flash before our eyes.
Stripped of all absolution.
Predestined to worship what we should despise, only then to have our senses
arrested.
An endless cycle of the same old mistakes.
Living hand to mouth and counting the days.
When surrounded by such negativity, it's impossible for us to break free from
degradation of all sanity.
To live and die with the world laid at our feet.
We must rise, realise, purify.
Rise, and realise we're born to die.
Next in line.
Born to die.
End of life.
Is it to late to start again?
Or is this just the start of the end.

08. Hope & Hindrance

This is!
The start!
Of the end!

09. And Only Time Will Tell

I Pray this time you're gone.
I will ever forget your face turns cold as you fade away.
They will find you broken and alone.
I'll take this life to rise without you.
And only time will tell me who you really are.
Besiege my fucking trust and see this through my eyes.
This time will be your last.
I watched you crash and burn and now you feel my pain.
You put me through this shit.
Forever you'll stand alone.
This time will be your last.

10. Break These Chains

Hold this thought this is for everything.
I am awakened.
I am free.
This is where I am, no faded memories.
With this you cannot defeat me.
I will never look back in regret.
The things that left me here are still standing.
This second of silence mirrors the way to push forward.
And in this moment I will break free from these chains.
I am free.
This distant day has only brought you closer to where I am.
To where I'll be.
This is where I am.
This is where I'll always be.
With broken chains, I am free.
And If you think you're taking a single thing away from me, you're fucking
wrong!
I will overcome.
This distant day has only pushed you further from where I am.
Where I'll always be.
This is where I am.
This is where I'll always be.
With broken chains, I am free.
Hold this thought this is for everything.
With broken chains I am free.
