I Am That Hope

about

I was very moved by the Thomas Bergersen song "Wings for Ukraine" when I first heard it, and I wanted to do a similar song, but at that moment it didn't feel genuine. The months passed and Meshuggah released their new album, and after August I began to think more about hope. Then, after seeing part of the music video for Meshuggah's song "I Am That Thirst", I was inspired to do a song about hope that took inspiration in a couple points from it. The song is sung by Hope. The lyrics are not sung here, but are attached.

lyrics

I watched you walk away
You thought it was the last time
You chose a long and lonely road,
But I'm still waiting for you

The sky came crashing down,
And you could not bear the weight
But I have not forgotten
How strong we are together

The way is dark with pain,
Regrets stinging deeper still
Yet you search among the embers
For the memory of me

What love could turn the tides of fate,
And give you strength to stand?
What joy could shatter the dark night,
And rip you from death's hands?
When you have given up on me:
I am that Hope,
To never be extinguished
What a gift to light the heart of man

Step into my arms,
Breathe in peace
I am here with you,
You are free
