Hope Of The Dead Return Lyrics - Singles - The Dan Tucker Band

Help thou mine unbelief but I can see right through the veil/ 

the greatest attempt in histories illusion is now about to fail. 

Covered up tombs and emptied out wombs--baskets full of illusions to be/ 

Age-old lies and broken peace-ties pave the way to eternity. 

CHORUS: 

Is this the hope of the living? Is this all that has to be said/ 

Is this the future of humanity? Is this the hope of the dead (yeah yeah) 

Father please forgive me but I can't see the light/ 

The light of this world and its reflections have been overcome by night. 

Tarnished brass and broken stained-glass--proof the destroyer is me & you/ 

Cankered-gold and love waxed cold--deep inside we always knew. 

(CHORUS) 

I cry for a deliverer but I see no deliverance ahead/ 

Hope has built many temples but the steeples mark the tombs of the dead. 

Shadows fill eyes--your dead will not rise--the blackest sabbath this world ever knew/ 

Spiders domain/preacher's insane--you've come to know the real you. 

(CHORUS) 

Is this the hope of the living. Is this the hope of the dead. 

There is Hope for the living--there is Hope for the dead!!! (yeah yeah yeah)
