(I)
When hope decides to die...
Men climb on beer to make them high
Virgins decides to use their thigh
Even assurance,becomes to costly to buy
(II)
When hope decides to die
Even angels starts to cry
Even the wind cease to fly
Even your father starts to deny
(III)
When hope decides to die
You can't jump, but Irons fly
The world drowns,still,your throat is dry
(IV)
When hope decides to die
Popes loses their faith
Suicides becomes fate.
Even love,starts to hate
(V)
When hope decides to die
Even the skies would weep
Even the stars will never sleep
Even your grave would not be so deep
(VI)
When hope decides to die
The eyes would drown in tears
Dreams would be left to die
Courage would become porridge
Giving up will become an anthem
the sunset will sleep at midday
The evening will wake when dawn is come
