Hope Can't Die Lyrics & Chords By Tankard

I heard the news last week
Rude shock! Fell to my knees
The truth feels like a stranglehold
Words of comfort seem so cold

You've always been like a brother to me
Now I'm forsaken, my heart's filled with grief
From early childhood we have been like one
Through thick and thin so sad that you're gone

Anger! Is what I'm feeling
'Bout fate and destiny
They are coldblooded bringers
Of pain and misery

Guilty! My first emotion
Am I the one to blame?
Could I have seen it coming?
My doubts turn into shame

Neither ambition
Nor good intent or lie
Will ease the sorrow
Life means death, hope can't die!
It took some courage
Until I realized
That we're all mortal
Life goes on, hope can't die!
Life goes on, hope can't die!

I saw your face last day
Palest white! Facade of clay
Wish I had the guts to act
But now it's too late your death is a fact

So, dearest friend, may you now rest in peace
I won't forget you those good memories
Here at your gravestone there is one thing I'll swear
Deep in my heart, you'll always be there

Anger! Is what I'm feeling
'Bout fate and destiny
They are coldblooded bringers
Of pain and misery

Guilty! My first emotion
Am I the one to blame?
Could I have seen it coming?
My doubts turn into shame

Neither ambition
Nor good intent or lie
Will ease the sorrow
Life means death, hope can't die!
It took some courage
Until I realized
That we're all mortal
Life goes on, hope can't die!
Life goes on, hope can't die!

Neither ambition
Nor good intent or lie
Will ease the sorrow
Life means death, hope can't die!
It took some courage
Until I realized
That we're all mortal
Life goes on, hope can't die!

Neither ambition
Nor good intent or lie
Will ease the sorrow
Life means death, hope can't die!
It took some courage
Until I realized
That we're all mortal
Life goes on, hope can't die!
Life goes on, hope can't die!

I heard the news last week
Rude shock! Fell to my knees
The truth feels like a stranglehold
Woods of comfort seem so cold
