Shadows rise in my valley of hope
And I provide the hangmans rope
I know that I am bound to lose
So I stick my head into his noose

Why can't I believe, when I know there must be
A chance to prevail
My spirits fail

The soul of desire distraught
A futile fight has been fought
The fear of failure and defeat
Is now the captain of my dreams

Why can't I believe, when I know there must be
A chance to prevail
My spirits fail

The quiet skies turn dark
Like blood-drops from a blackened heart
I'm not prepared for this
For the unimaginable abyss

Why can't I believe, when I know there must be
A chance to prevail
My spirits fail
