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?
