PARADISE LOST LYRICS The Last Time (1995) 1. The Last Time 2. Laid To Waste 3. Walk Away (Sisters Of Mercy cover) 4. Master Of Misrule 1. The Last Time It's a struggle with a failures 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 through the door And think to walk right through I want to ignore I only wish that it passes soon Hearts beating... I raise a sunken smile As I serve only the ones who served What can I achieve As you steal the air I breathe A cruel misfortune Forbidding is to see When stories may collide It's a sad state of mind Hearts beating... Hearts beating for the last time Hearts beating it is a state of mind Hearts beating for the last time The peace you cannot find 2. Laid To Waste resent a sense of feeding, demanding bleeding unhinged a savage seeks a quest hollow hearts, rapid beating the pulse is high its never ceasing this cannot be a false pretence as people arise I feel it stone cold, a passive disease, no chance of healing you'll wonder if this is the end the void submit to pass through fear the eyes staring at you a time of unrivalled despair as people arrive I feel their stare you lived a life in chains your master could not save you'll lose the grasp of gain no method to your rage you die a death each day for some it seems to stay that way channels to feed your hate lying there for you to take a place where fools attend no prayers for you my friend 3. Walk Away (Sisters Of Mercy cover) [Originally performed by Sisters Of Mercy] And in the summer when the clouds show through I might go the same way too if You and I could talk together Well what am I supposed to do with You and I would walk together Then with always close around and Now you gaze toward the doorway When the weather comes falling down And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay Would you choose to walk Would you choose to stay Would you Walk walk walk walk walk away Though when the day is nearly Through I might see the same way too if You would name the things That bring you down on me so I could say it's Not quite true if you don't really Know or understand the circumstance Behind then I might clear your Mind and you won't have to go so 4. Master Of Misrule wipe away the pouring rain it's too late to feel 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 it 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 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 arriving to demoralize 1995 Music For Nations All music written by Gregor Mackintosh.
