Paradise Lost Obsidian 1. Darker Thoughts Drifting through loss We escape from the cost of the pain The healing through years So obscured by the tears, and the strain But this one-way street you’re on You’ll never be fulfilled And this one-way street you’re on Is gonna get you killed Healing. The lost, so delusional hollow and vague Ascending through fear as emotionless dreams of the grave But this one-way street you’re on You’ll never be fulfilled And this one-way street you’re on Is gonna get you killed Onto a higher ground, a youthful lie, no warning, death Hiding is truth in all us Another fired down, do or die it’s just despair Hiding the truth in all us God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill God asks not Godless sworn to kill, Godless sworn to kill God asks not With inner peace gone, you pray All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay With inner peace gone you’ve paid All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay Godless sworn to kill. Annihilation Godless sworn to kill. Annihilation God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill God asks not Godless born to kill, Godless born to kill God asks not 2. Fall from Grace No celebration for the damned One last defiance on command Receiving malice for mistakes Rejoice as adversaries fall As we fall from grace And we touch deaths hand too soon As we fall from grace, like you Would the eyes of another god, decide to end your life? The defamation of the damned This poison chalice you withstand Receive, decry and slowly fail Neglected, self-inflicted loss As we fall from grace And we touch deaths hand too soon As we fall from grace, like you. Through the eyes of another God, decide to end your life? We’re all alone. There’s something inside me, there’s something unknown A suffering sublime speaks, words I don’t know There’s something inside me, there’s something unknown A suffering that finds me, the eyes don’t show We’re all alone As we fall from grace And we touch deaths hand too soon As we fall from grace, like you. Could the eyes of another God, decide to end your life? 3. Ghosts Life endures, it serenades Obliteration through wars Unholy fire seduces The undead lust withstands For the fire burns, deep within mistrust For the ghosts, the ones to break me for Jesus Christ Life is charged, prepared in rage Fooled generations no more Unholy fire reduces The undead lust demands For the fire burns, deep within mistrust For the ghosts, the ones to break me for Jesus Christ Could you feel the same? Would you feel the pain? For a fire burns deep within mistrust For the ghosts, the ones to break me for Jesus Christ 4. The Devil Embraced I’m tired of dreams, I’m tired of almost everything Dreams deceive and living never lasts. Too tired to sleep, denial of grief awakes my sins Too weak to breathe, from living in deaths hands Underneath. A shadow falling Unbelieving prayers for all who die Foolish trust, in reverent pain Foolish trust, the Devil embraced I’m trying to give, forgiving is meaning for myself To see is believe, just remnants of my past Underneath. A shadow falling Unbelieving prayer for all who die Foolish trust, in reverent pain Foolish trust, the Devil embraced There’s nothing more to lose, The pain is over There’s nothing more to lose, now it’s over To enslave, extinction of self-worth Chains of rust in this kingdom for the dead Burn to dust for this wisdom we all dread Underneath. A shadow falling Unbelieving prayer for all who die Foolish trust, in reverent pain Foolish trust, the Devil embraced 5. Forsaken What we don’t know will set us free Until tomorrow What we don’t show the enemy Breaks them all to follow What we don’t show, can never be Until tomorrow What we don’t see, the agony Await the call of sorrow Reverence, you’re taking We’re all forsaken Reverence, mistaken We’re all forsaken What we don’t show, affinity Until tomorrow Cannot breathe, cannot flee Break them all to follow Reverence, you’re taking We’re all forsaken Reverence, mistaken We’re all forsaken What we don’t know will set us free Until tomorrow The purest deep, an empty sea Break them all to follow Reverence, you’re taking We’re all forsaken Reverence, mistaken We’re all forsaken Reverence, mistaken We’re all just faking 6. Serenity Till the last kingdom falls To a shelter repressed, by a long loneliness Finding answers we scorned In a vile yonder grave, with a scowl, we’ll remain in blood For the hour of unrest, reeking this world of contempt To the landscapes were drawn A serenity dawns again Till the last kingdom falls And the circle will close again Till the last kingdom falls With inspiring intent and an iron contempt All our chances withdrawn Such a valiant refrain, in amongst this campaign for blood In the hours of distress, grieving, the words of regret Till the last kingdom falls To a shelter repressed, by a long loneliness Finding answers we scorned In a vile yonder grave, with a scowl, we’ll remain in blood For the hour of unrest, reeking this world of contempt To the landscapes were drawn A serenity dawns again Till the last kingdom falls And the circle will close again 7. Ending Days Searching, from so far away I’ll be back to stay Searching, from so far away All these endless days Maladjusted, I suffer Yearning, from so far away Dreams are left decayed Ill adjusted I suffer Readjusting discovered Ending life The days of unending strife So sacred as years go by We don’t care till it’s time to die On those ending days we’ll harmonise Searching, from so far away I’ll be back to stay Ending life The days of unending strife So sacred as years go by We don’t care till it’s time to die On those ending days we’ll harmonise 8. Hope Dies Young How could you know? As pure as driven snow Through a winter of descent The splintered argument Such a withering lament Hopes will die young Hopes will die young now 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 Through the system of intent A weakened argument Is your eternal punishment Hopes will die young Hopes will die young now Obscure the light of day Assured the light that burns inside Reaching out in vain Reaching out some way How could you know? As pure as driven snow How could you know? 9. Ravenghast The riches gone A darker crown The liar found, mistakenly unbound Your eternal kingdom dead Always lose, devour Thy kingdom come Always lose, devour Thy kingdom come The wretched one It’s tortured frown The dying sound, audaciously profound Your infernal kingdom wept Always lose, devour Thy kingdom come Always lose, devour Thy kingdom come Fortune turns to die Returns to die Way beyond trepidation Preaching laws of a condemnation Reaching out for who serves up high With the heartless, you must try. Inner darkness, you must try In the darkness, you will die Begone the hours of distress Behold a life of regret Begone, behold as strife increases Begone, unfold the towering resent Begone, disposed and dreams are gone Fortune turns to die Returns to die 10. Hear the Night Waiting is the fool All desire consumed All we symbolise We gaze at walls that burn eternal Ending hours entombed Pleading madness rules As we sympathise Ablaze the walls that burn infernal Look in the darkness to take a place Obscured in madness, awake the grey See the night, desire the fear You need it now Hear the night, desire the fear You need it now. A call from the grave See the night, desire the fear You need it now A call from the grave Hear the night, desire the fear You need it now A call from the grave Bleeding hearts demanding our blood Agonise beyond the shroud Vapid eyes demanding our gods Destroyed to the ground Waiting is the fool All desire consumed All we symbolise We gaze at walls that burn eternal Look for the darkness to take a place Obscured in darkness, awake the grey See the night, desire the fear You need it now Hear the night ,desire the fear You need it now. A call from the grave See the night, desire the fear You need it now A call from the grave Hear the night, desire the fear You need it now A call from the grave 11. Defiler Rise and fall beyond the law, beyond the danger To rise above, command in blood Rise and fall beyond the cause, beyond endangered A call above, damned by war, damned by failure The unstoppable threat bound to evolve The unstoppable threat lost all control Like a child in arms we dwell You can turn the tide of dreams we‘ve held Like a child in arms we dwell Who controls the mind that drifts to hell? Rise and fall beyond the law beyond the danger A call above, command in blood Rise at dawn, beyond the law, beyond all hatred A call above, damned by war, damned by nature Like a child in arms we dwell You can turn the tide of dreams we‘ve held Like a child in arms we dwell Who controls the mind that drifts to hell? Foolish tyrant compelled Foolish tyrant repels Like a child in arms we dwell You can turn the tide of dreams we‘ve held Like a child in arms we dwell Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?
