The Delusion of Hope by Eternity Opens Lyrics
Pandora: As the menace grows, we rest passively
It’s time to take a stand, and take command of our fates
It’s for us he hunts, these others are in the way
Innocent lives, they are collateral damage
Typhon: There is nowhere left to run to
And there is nothing that I can do
To stand and fight is suicide
I won’t live to see daylight
The Hunter’s job will not be done
Rebels, insurgents, still on the run
Pandora: When will you see? Redeemed is what you’re meant to be
You’ll never get the chance to do it all again
Take what you get, no sorrow and no regret
The old is as bad as the new, the cycle of power is never through
In the scheme of it all, it may seem so, but no sacrifice is ever small
If this is as much as we can do, then we’ll do it and carry it through
We’ve been helping as much as we can
Building their houses and tilling the land
The villagers look to us
Strange strangers who know more than they do
Typhon: My conditions have worsened
Becoming nobody has taken its toll
One Hunter will fall but more will take his place
His death will bring a crackdown upon these innocent souls
To stand and fight is suicide
I won’t live to see daylight
Dear Pandora, your idealism will get you nowhere
You have succumbed to the delusion of hope
Pandora: I beg of you, you must undo your wrongs
You’re a better man than before, and that’s what gives me hope
It’s time to take a stand, and take command of our fates
It’s for us he hunts, these others are in the way
Innocent lives, they are collateral damage
Typhon: There is nowhere left to run to
And there is nothing that I can do
To stand and fight is suicide
I won’t live to see daylight
The Hunter’s job will not be done
Rebels, insurgents, still on the run
Pandora: When will you see? Redeemed is what you’re meant to be
You’ll never get the chance to do it all again
Take what you get, no sorrow and no regret
The old is as bad as the new, the cycle of power is never through
In the scheme of it all, it may seem so, but no sacrifice is ever small
If this is as much as we can do, then we’ll do it and carry it through
We’ve been helping as much as we can
Building their houses and tilling the land
The villagers look to us
Strange strangers who know more than they do
Typhon: My conditions have worsened
Becoming nobody has taken its toll
One Hunter will fall but more will take his place
His death will bring a crackdown upon these innocent souls
To stand and fight is suicide
I won’t live to see daylight
Dear Pandora, your idealism will get you nowhere
You have succumbed to the delusion of hope
Pandora: I beg of you, you must undo your wrongs
You’re a better man than before, and that’s what gives me hope
