"Hope Dies Young" lyrics - PARADISE LOST

How could you know?
As pure as driven snow

[Pre-Chorus:]
Through a winter of descent
The splintered argument
Such a withering lament

[Chorus:]
Hopes will die young
Hopes will die young now

[Post-Chorus:]
Obscure the light of day
Assured the life that yearns inside
Reaching out in vain
Reaching out, betrayed

How would you know?
The purest visions grow

[Pre-Chorus:]
Through the system of intent
A weakened argument
Is your eternal punishment

[Chorus:]
Hopes will die young
Hopes will die young now

[Post-Chorus:]
Obscure the light of day
Assured the light that burns inside
Reaching out in vain
Reaching out some way

[Outro:]
How could you know?
As pure as driven snow
How could you know?
