All Hope Is Gone

Alter Bridge · AB III.5 [2011]

A tireless stream of indifference flows

Through veins till the river runs dry

I no longer care I have all but disposed

Of dreams that I once held inside

Desire is gone after all of these years

The fight has been lost I concede

The apathy born a long time ago

Has grown to what I can't defeat

I've been here too long

I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run

To find what I'm looking for?

All hope is gone

The sadness I carry so deep in my heart

For what could have been and might be

Is never forgotten it's never too far

I'm wasted so worn and so weak

I've been here too long

I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run

To find what I'm looking for?

All hope is gone

All hope is gone

I've been here too long

I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run

To find what I'm looking for?

I've been here too long

I'm tired and longing for more

All hope is gone

All hope is gone

All hope is gone
