The Sinking of Hope

My hope is dead
Buried with my will
Six feet or more underground
I am in my twilight years
So let me be free

I am a man of war
A walking tragedy
The villain of shadows
More complex than yesterday
An every constant chameleon
Mobile and lingering ever upon peace

My hope she is dead
Buried with my soul
Six leagues under sea
A twilight ghost is me
Wishing to be free

I was a man of chivalry
Inspired to a prison of shame
A villain existing ever in shadow
Ever more complex than yesterday
A chameleon with arms wide open
Willing to live adapt and change
Perseverance until the grave

My will he is dead
Buried without mercy
Perseverance transmission shaken
I'm a twilight ghost of a man
Who was bought
