PARADISE LOST LYRICS Seals The Sense (1994) 1. Ember's Fire 2. Sweetness 3. True Belief 4. Your Hand In Mine (live) 1. Ember's Fire A fallen time that's bygone A crude elite that's from a distant zone You 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 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 2. Sweetness you have a history of holding back a certain sweetness that I lack sensitive till the day of the final strike hatred coming on from greater heights won't you stay away I'll pass away a different day won't you stay away don't hold it against me... looking down on a rogue this lonely frame it's predictable the killing game the sickness knows not what feels right you gotta hold on to what feels right won't you stay away I'll pass away a different day won't you stay away together it's impossible together it's impossible I see blood on the robe cold hearts will still haunt you 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, 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 Call counting time till the end Death's wicked smile never fails The curse is cast, you've lost the past Forevermore, 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, a true belief 4. Your Hand In Mine (live) Pay the deadly price Lift the fallen prize Told you soon will die Sin that sails alight Carry ungodly crimes Travelling out of reach Taking the weight of the night upon my back You cannot believe the pain that I've seen Crawling out of life my fire is strong Can it be, I can't go on And I'm hurt now, don't turn your back Changing ways, events prolong Hidden by the mist, insinuate what's gone Insinuate what's gone... Your hand in mine We'll reach the sign of plains above us Your hand in mine Unholy times of pain relentless Forced to watch not eagerly Breaking hearts with words and all ecstasy The ecstasy... Your hand in mine Reveal all life, uphold all others Your hand in mine Are you alive, with flames of sadness Your hand in mine We'll reach the sign of plains above us Your hand in mine Unholy times of pain relentless 1994 Music For Nations All tracks written Mackintosh-Holmes Produced by Simon Efemey except "Sweetness" produced by Paradise Lost & Mags Recorded at Academy Studios, 5-10 Janury 1994 Enormous thanks to Roman Isakov
