Paradise Lost - In Truth

I’m, I’m in a picture with you
You just seem to know
I am a liar I am a fake
In truth
You don’t need to know

I turn at the laughter
As you proceed to show
I am a dead man, I’m a mistake
It’s true
Do I need to know

In all I’ve shown
Cross me again, all hope defeated again

Hold on we all strive
We ascend from a world we all try

Paradise Lost - Forging Sympathy

A mass of breathing souls
For times are desolate
Passing judgement on my sentence
As I perceive my dying day

Give me a promise
The word I will never hear
Sympathies forging, stalling in me

I’m closing all the doors
While my frown remains
Until I reach my golden haven
I’ll let the sadness pass my way

Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man

My halo’s fading with all the sin I deal
Have I been banished, a forgery

Sear, the tender feeling as my solar glow dies
And I’m waiting for my sweet Hell
You’ll wait for your Hell, I wish you Hell

In time the hate corrodes
Our brains are desolate And this prison which we serve in
Will be a witness to our pains

Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man

Paradise Lost - Take Me Down

You aren’t what I love, you aren’t what I need
You aren’t what I love, you aren’t what I need

What I need

Don’t let them take me down there

You aren’t what I love, you aren’t what I see
You hate from above, you become what I need

What I need

Don’t let them take me down there

Paradise Lost - Jaded

Opaque the dissident establishment
That we all suffer
Refill the porous shell with words that mean so many things

Words mean so many things

The feeling can’t avoid you…

Stoking the fires of absence
Loss and anguish long departed
Adjust to changes re-arranging, burns in many ways

Pain burns in many ways

The feeling can’t avoid you…

Paradise Lost - Widow [Icon 30 version]

You’re breaking a chain
Lying until you can erase the past
Born with a look of deceit
Praying that all the bitter guilt’s defeated
Born…

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, unwilling to accept, decline
You’ll turn a blind eye

Bought by a sickening man
The weakened gather just as fast as they can
‘Whore’ is what the people roar
From fear of rejection you’ll come back for more
Strong, don’t see that love has ceased
In the end, only death can release

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, you’re on a lonely road...
You’re on a lonely road

Paradise Lost - Embers Fire [Icon 30 version]

A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone
You'll turn a blind eye on what's brave
You don't know if it's the truth you told

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

Hold back desire for danger
A bet you'll lose you'll have no way to turn
I see the man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call your own

Don't run away, from the pain, a claim that you deal with
A power game, from within, impossible for you to see this

Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind's eye can you see a light

Harmony breaks, dark awakes, in old eyes - The trouble feel it
Here to stay, mark the way, improvise the judgement hearing

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

All remains of the glowing embers
Is a bleak cold irrelevance

Paradise Lost - True Belief [Icon 30 version]

Wretched will, host of pleasure surreal
Closed the room where the last is buried
Rise or fall at your master's request
You're unable to accept redemption
I don't know about a true belief here
With the lost it's the same as always

All I want is the same
All I want is a true belief

You can't wait to become a memory
With the weak it's the same as always
Stand confused lack of comprehension
Re-aroused by a thought of madness
And I know that the truth is always right
But it's time to search for lies
You're the one I try to save
But the blood spills from your veins

All I want is the same
All I want is a true belief

Call counting time 'til the end
Death's wicked smile never fails
The curse is cast and you've lost the past forever more
A candle burns here no more
I don't know about a century of life
When the love of generations die
I can see no good in taking your own life
When any moment death calls

All I want is the same
To be part of the game
All I want is a true belief

Paradise Lost - Desolate

...

Paradise Lost - Shine

Too easy to explain
What you’ll never talk about
Too easy to explain
But you’ll never see the light behind an open door

Some days already all over for me…
Some days already all over for me

Too easy to refrain
What you’ll never talk about
Too easy to refrain
But you’ll never see the light behind an open door

See the light behind an open door

Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me

On these nights we shine
Love ain’t all the time we learn
I’d never want it so

Too easy to explain
But you’ll never…

Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me

On these nights we shine
Love ain’t all the time we learn
I’d never want it so

See the light behind an open door…

Paradise Lost - Christendom [Icon 30 version]

Innocence, beneath this sorry veil I see you have
Plentitude, the sweetness of a new born child
It's lost deserted reverence

For my life and the stars creation
For my life it's the same rejection
Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you

Loss of hope, failing situation
Readapt, death is life's temptation
Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you

They betray, uphold the law, accuse the future

Resurrect, the harsh tones of our self contempt recall
Fail to breathe, in sight no normal state of mind
In time the hour will fail to chime

For my life and the stars creation
For my life it's the same rejection
Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you

Loss of hope, failing situation
Readapt, death is life's temptation
Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you

They betray, uphold the law, accuse the future

Paradise Lost - It's Too Late

Feared and loathed besides
It’s such a tragedy
I’ve seen all others try
It ends in misery

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late

Fragrant your remarks
You offered sympathy
Read between the lines
The dream is honesty

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late, now
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it’s too late

Dealt the losing hand
No need for jealousy
As our worlds collapse
Who will the saviours be?

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late, now
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it’s too late

Paradise Lost - As I Die [Live]

As I die

Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me – The love has crippled you

Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise

Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue

Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool

Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die

Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul is has no price
Total release is out of harms way
Until I can decide
You punish me, can’t you see, I’m not real
Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die

Paradise Lost - Sacrifice The Flame

The darkest past
Forever could last
Beneath the sanctity I pray
For honesty’s sake

Never sail the lie
When its scorn is brought to life
Forever sacrifice the flame

The die is cast
The circle one less
Through brief insanity I pray
For honesty’s sake

Never say deny
When its scorn is brought to life
Forever Sacrifice the flame

So heartless so
Careless dreams torment the soul

So dark the souls
Spare us dreams torment the soul

Paradise Lost - Deus Misereatur

Paradise Lost - Honesty In Death

In amidst the madness

That only tears into myself

The mist of sadness

It turns into my hell

Burns into the frail, all this speak of death

My honesty in death,

Modesty until the end

Honesty in death

In amidst the anguish

My only prayers are to myself

Resistance crashes

As clemency compels

Turning not to face, only speak of death

My honesty in death

Honesty adorns the end

Modesty’s intent

Paradise Lost - Pray Nightfall

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

I hold on tight for this mortal ride

Rest my head ’til the morning’s coming down on me

I realise my own sacrifice

Rest my head before somebody’s going out

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Awake despite another mortal night

Rest my head for sun is shining down on me

I realise try to synchronize

Rest my head or somebody’s going down

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Trying to make things work

Trying to make things right

Trying to make things work

Without serendipity in my life

It’s in my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Paradise Lost - Hands Of Reason

I speak of people, whose game is disguise

The myth of flavour appears with no sign

‘Cause I see it coming, just like a long lost friend

A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray

Inane the pleasures that leave a sorry state

You’re told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait

But wait for tomorrow, and steal some sanity

Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I now fall – Fall into deprivation

Fall – Fallen, there’s still tomorrow

Love hides the things you’ll never know

A lack of reason that makes a mortal man

Untold the treason, the past where it began

‘Cause I see the horror – Horror to think about

Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I see the blood – Blood on the hands of reason

Blood – Bloody the hands that lead me

Love for the ones you cannot know

Paradise Lost - Mortals Watch The Day

Plead forgiveness father

All my troubles fade from view

Pale the four walls surround

Have I madness in my eyes?

While mortals watch the day

Our fear will pave the way

Hidden until the end

See a room of crimson

Nothing I have seen before

Coldness wrapped around me

Struggle not, for Hell is here

While tyrants close the doors

Each one will know the score

Sorrow takes it all

Saved the sick of life’s bliss

Charity of utmost guilt

Fear the blinded temper

It has lied it’s way to you

While mortals watch the day

And light has turned to grey

What lies up ahead

Light shines into your eyes

That I’m blinded by, your eyes

Mortal throughout the days

Until we’re saved

Turning to black

I can’t see through this

No option from turning away

Will we see another day

Paradise Lost - Master Of Misrule

Wipe away the pouring rain

It’s too late to feel it again

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What I see is depravity within us all

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What is this, the despondency within us all

Maybe I’m already dead

Or maybe I’m still alive

Draining spirit, the soul and my body of pride

I can see through it all

It’s too late when the end is calling

Can’t relate to the stranger inside of you

Stranger inside of you

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What I see is depravity within us all

There’s no sense in the truth

There’s no will when the world is falling

Hostility is aiming to demoralise

Paradise Lost - I Am Nothing

Aware of some, aware of nothing more

I have no faith, I cannot settle scores

You hope some day, I’ll move out of the dark

Your wishes fail, ’cause I am nothing

Slave to it all once again I fear

Slave to it all are the ones most dear

Thrilling you all with my tales not real

You believe in them time after time

On hopeless days I sit and justify

A wholesome life of which I’m so deprived

I hope and pray that I won’t stay around

Too long to stain, ’cause I am nothing

Slave to it all once again I fear

Slave to it all are the ones most dear

Thrilling you all with my tales not real

You believe in them time after time

Hope someday?

I could be wrong…
