A horse named hope

I've been through the desert on a horse named hope
Searching for a way to cut my rope
A knife sharp enough to cut my ties
A blade solid enough to cut through the lies
You know why
I've been through the desert on a horse named hope
Searching for a hidden stash of pure dope
So I could get high enough to leave the ground
And hear all the heavenly sounds
Finally escaping the hounds
I've been through the desert on a horse named hope
Fleeing the saints and the pope
Because I hate the answers they spread
Because we must find eternity before we end up dead
Not the other way around
I've been through the desert on a horse named hope
Trying to escape an elite killer's scope
He goes by the name of sorrow
And his bullets make you forget your tomorrows
Sad sniper
I've been through the desert on a horse named hope
Trying to conquer each and every sand slope
Even if it means dying on a dune
I'll let the wind sing me one last tune
Soon
