While cruel gods laugh
And dangle hope before their victims on a string
Bright and beautiful it shines
Here is what you want
Here is what you need
Here is escape
Here is that someone you have longed for
Here is a better tomorrow
Here is health
Here is happiness
It hangs in front of your face
Just within your grasp
All you need to do is reach out
It will be yours
But as soon as you think you have it
The Gods pull the string
Up it flies
Beyond your reach
No longer obtainable
And the gods laugh
For hope is just an illusion
A cruel joke of the gods
To break your spirit
And wound you deeply
When once again you realize
That what you almost had
Is now denied to you
