Paradise Lost : Reflection
Lyrics
1. SAY JUST WORDS
You get high, with your destructive instinct
You get high, with your corrosive instinct
Where can I go, to escape your foul mind tricks
You're trying it more, but you will never break me
'Cause you presume the winner is you, but that's not true, so say just words to me
Unreal what your hate's providing, say just words to me
Your talk is always contradiction, say just words to me
You won't feel the warmth of friends around you, say just words to me
Is it true that there is worth inside so say just words to me
Your designs, all the worse from power craving
Your desires, only where there's fire burning
I'll show you the way, a pleasure that's for the taking
You're trying it more, but you won't get satisfaction
'Cause you presume the winner is you, but that's not true, so say just words to me
Unreal what your hate's providing, say just words to me
Your talk is always contradiction, say just words to me
You won't feel the warmth of friends around you, say just words to me
Is it true that there is worth inside so say just words to me
2. HALLOWED LAND
You'd love to be so far away
It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain
Greet open handed stranger
Create the turmoil, you're not sane
I want the last one to go the embers will revive
So stay...
You want to live a lifetime each and every day
You've struggled before, I swear to do it again
You've told it before 'til I, until I'm weakened and sore
Seek hallowed land
You'd love to see right through my veins
The pale reflection tells all, predomination's sustain
Crawl over land or mountain
In sight the ultimate escape
A sihlouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate
You want to live a lifetime each and every day
You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again
You've prayed before, who are the prayers for?
Seek hallowed land
Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know
Accept reclining spirit I need to endure
You try to live a lifetime each and every day
In this short time of promise you're a memory...
3. TRUE BELIEF
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
4. PITY THE SADNESS
Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contempt and sins priorities
To crush good fortune to it's knees
Morning...
Morning's calm, inside I cry
This painful life has raped my mind
Take me down, slow release
From sorrow's penetration
Morning...
Life is there for me
Hell is there for me
Sunlight greets my open wounds
Morning's light reflects the doom
My soul is free, it lives again
To roam alone in darkness
Morning...
I've cried for God
And I've cried for you
I pray that in the end your sense will break through
Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contest my sins priorities
Crushed my spirit to its knees
5. ETERNAL
Why can't we hear
The time must come for us to leave here
Emotion has withered away
Our burnt out love has decayed
Obsessed to leave the Earth
Tragedy has overrun since birth
Now our righteous fathers weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away?
Cry at all that remains
"Chosen Words" fail to sustain
The wisdom of powers heard
In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd
Now as hope and glory dies
We'll scream at our demise
Are we lost forever more?
6. FOREVER FAILURE
Understand procedure, understand war
Understand rules, regulations
I don't understand sorry
You must feel frustration
'Cause your mind feels such temptation
And your ways appear a total lack of faith
You may feel elation
At your body's recreation
And the joy you need, restricted by one thought
Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life
Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time
High times are courageous
But in truth they suit no purpose
Induced, reduced, unable and afraid
Can you feel rejection
And a lack of motivation
And the joy you need, restricted and delayed
Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life
Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time
I don't really know what sorry means, I've been sorry all my life
I'm sorry I was born, that's what my mother told me
I don't really know what sorry means
I've been sorry all my life
I don't really know what sorry means
7. GOTHIC
Denying our restlessness
Frustrations tension eludes
The past was clean
When thoughts were mild
The present day horrors alive
Slowly passing timeless horrors
Lives within all fear
The mourning in my tears
Drown all the past
We've lived beneath these years
Awaiting for the call
For all life to expire
Passive to this day
To infinity we'll fail
The light is dim before us
Shadows appear and fall
A barrage of savage ways
Only the darkness can filter through...
8. ONE SECOND
And for one second, I lost my head
And for one second, I wished that you were dead
And for one second, you wish that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me
And for one second, I lost my breath
And for one second, I cherish what you said
And for one second, it seemed that I was here all alone
Hold back the tears that will fall for me
And for one second, I understand
And for one second, my life was in your hands
And for one second, you wish that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me
They fall alone...
9. ROTTING MISERY
Unleashed upon man
Their poisoning brains
An empty grasp - A threat to all those sane
The daggers poised
For shallow minds
Unheard laughs
Disrupting all mankind...
This rotting misery
The beggars are all gathered
No others rule supreme
Rotting misery
Clouded realities
Brought before us
Their pointless lives
As all their faith is lost
Morbid existence
Of these poor souls
Now must die to exist no more
10. THE LAST TIME
It's a struggle with a failure's frown
And it crashes in front of me
I see the clouds divide
Will you stay or try to leave
The time you're looking at the door
And you're thinking to walk right through
I want to ignore
I only wish that it passes soon
Heart's beating...
I raise a sunken smile
As I serve the ones who served
What can I achieve
As you steal the air I breathe
It's a cruel misfortune
Forbidding us to see
When stories may collide
It's a sad state of mind
Heart's beating...
Heart's beating for the last time
Heart's beating for the last time
Heart's beating, it is a state of mind
Heart's beating for the last time
Heart's beating, the peace you cannot find
11. MERCY
You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise
Don't lose all faith 'cause you shake at night
It's in the art of the process
In another rhyme beyond this place
The healing's fast enough
Done a thousand times, a thousand ways
Until you've had enough
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
The loss of prize possessions
To cure the mind's obsessions
Could trade your soul for that normal life
Elite to all objections
See beyond all tears and broken years
Your senses giving up
Lose all confidence at your expense
Your courage swallowed up
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
12. WIDOW
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
13. EMBERS FIRE
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
14. AS I DIE
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
15. SOUL COURAGEOUS (LIVE)
I could not care less for oh, so many things
Tales of your distress and what tomorrow brings
Alluring you on sight
I'd harbour my delight
You could not care for what tune sorrow sings
In this battle of ages
A breath of fire would light your pilot
Are you soul courageous
A breath of life would make you maybe see
You bring me to the ground
You bring me to the ground
Victory's in vain unless one knows the score
Inner peace reclines, in place the bitter scorn
Spirit maketh man
Always at hand
The spirit fails to save the ones worth waiting for
16. BLOOD OF ANOTHER (LIVE)
You'll see the blood... blood of another
You'll see the blood as we roll in it together
You'll see the blood... blood of another
You'll see the blood as we roll in it together tonight
What unruly life is like
What is fabled wisdom like?
This indulgent grace is spinning round
And leaving all behind
Knowledge limits you besides claming
You're so sure by vibes
In this frozen climate the temperature
Should bring you down to rights
Beauty, purity inside twisted madness filth and vice
Death is not selective the darker
Shroud will fall on all despite
Recklessness, the fault in mind anger,
Laughter can't provide
Try to turn a blind eye the wasting
Pain one trip you cannot buy...
17. AS I DIE (LIVE)
