In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won

We held out hope
Believing in something, anything, nothing
We were foolish and naive
Believing there was something to fight for or someone

In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won

We rode to the battlefield
Woefully unprepared
We thought we could find comfort
Somewhere, over there, nowhere

In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won

We were hopeful and hoping
Waiting for a hero
Wishing upon a falling star
Holding out for any semblance of hope

In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won

Hope dies, good will fades
The hero never came, the wish did not come true
The outlook was grim, grim as can be, blue
The sky was red with blood, the sun weeped

In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won

Hope dies, pain ends
The moon falls out of the sky
Hope dies, love fades
The end is nigh
Hope dies, pain ends
The sun cries out
Hope dies, love fades
The end is come
It was over before we had begun
It had been meaningless from the start
Hope dies, pain ends, love fades
We are done
