All Hope is Gone

[Corey, Clown, Chris and Paul]

The state of the nation - violation

A broken promise is as good as a lie

The hell is humongous, the devil's among us

And we will burn 'cause we won't unite

What are we conceding for our freedom?

Why does anybody think we need 'em?

I would rather fight than let another die

We're the problem, but we're also the solution

All hope is gone

If you want it, come and take it from me

If you think you can, you still don't know me

Let me tell you, man, if I said it, I meant it

And I will always have the right to defend it

Fifty seconds, a hundred murders

The bill of rights is a bill of sale

What will you do when the war is over?

What will you do when your system fails?

We have made the present obsolete

What do you want? What do you need?

We'll find a way when all hope is gone

We've seen the fall of the elite

Bury your life, take your disease

We'll end the world when all hope is gone

[Guitar Solo - Jim Root]

We have made the present obsolete

What do you want? What do you need?

We'll find a way when all hope is gone

We've seen the fall of the elite

Bury your life, take your disease

We'll end the world when all hope is gone

The wretched are the wounded

The hungry starve to death

In a place where no one goes

The air itself is a final breath

So discontinue the antiseptic care charade

As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades

I am the reason your future suffers

I am the hatred you won't embrace

I am the worm of a pure gestation

I am the remedy, spit in my face

All your laws and rules are outdated

All your subjects are killing the kings

I can rattle off a million other reasons why

But does it matter when the only thing we love will die?

We have made the present obsolete

What do you want? What do you need?

We'll find a way when all hope is gone

We've seen the fall of the elite

Bury your life, take your disease

We'll end the world when all hope is gone

We have made the present obsolete

What do you want? What do you need?

We'll find a way, we'll find a way when all hope is gone

We've seen the fall of the elite

Bury your life, take your disease

We'll end the world, we'll end the world when all hope is gone

When all hope is gone

When all hope is gone

When all hope is gone
