Paradise Lost
Tragic Illusion 25
1. Loneliness Remains
A Mother's shame
The Struggle For Intent
Another's blame
Life's troubled story ends
Show No Pretence
Youth has faded away
Show No Pretence
Beneath the mask that falls away
No Sudden faith
The Struggle For revenge
This sullen face
Only a loneliness remains
Show No Pretence
Youth has faded away
Show No Pretence
Beneath the mask that falls away
The past is calling
Free from dreams that show surrender
The last is falling
Flee from dreams that don't compare
Stalking the millions
A face unseen that won't repair
Stalling the millions
Embrace the dreams that show despair
Show no pretence
Beneath the mask that falls away
The past is calling
Free from dreams that show surrender
The last is falling
Flee from dreams that don't compare
Stalking the millions
A face unseen that won't repair
Stalling the millions
Embrace the dreams that show despair
2. Never Take Me Alive (Spear of Destiny cover)
I'm leaving on the five train
Don't ask me when I'm coming back again
I reckon it's only a matter of time
Before the law kick in the door
Mother I'm running out of change,
But I had to phone to let you know
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
Mother I killed someone
It wasn't that I hated him
You see, he was trying to stop me
But he found out
I'd go the whole way
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me
I can't tell you how I feel
Maybe you don't wanna know
Maybe, maybe
But anyway: I love you so
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me
They'll never take me alive
3. Ending Through Changes
It's the same again. The truth is not too plain
No matter where you start
It's the same again. Refusal not to blame
For anything you are
An insane attempt a dire loser's discontent
Like arrows in the dark
Ending through changes everything changes
In the shade again, a truce too much to take
Endeavour night & day
It's the same again, a truth's too much to take.
Innocent, no matter what they say
All the blame again the truth is not too plain
What matters falls apart impart
Ending through changes, everything changes
In the shade again, a truce too much to take
Endeavour night & day
So ashamed again, until my dying day
4. The Last Fallen Saviour
Perceived as something you cannot wish
A dream that someday you can exist
Fortune in tears forever taken in vain
For the last fallen saviour
For the ones that betray us
The grief is something you can't restrict
Belief that someday you can resist
Fortune in tears forever taken in vain
Scream but your voice is unheard as you descend
Forever taking the pain
Forever's taken away
5. Last Regret (Lost in Prague Orchestra Mix)
Feel the will to try
Adapting all the time
Feel the wealth inside
For the last one...
For the last one...
Hear my last words
this my last regret
Kill the will to die
in a sense it all seemed right
Dreaming darkness lies
oh the last ones...
Freedom is dennied
for the last ones...
Hear my last words
this my last regret
6. Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us (Lost in Prague Orchestra Mix)
Refrain from the way we were
Slain the invincible
Changed are the the ways of man
Fortitude to face the path
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to see it fail
(Faith divides us - death unites us)
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to seek despair
(Faith divides us - death unites us)
Tears for a hopeless case
Outside is still, so vague
Frayed the landscapes of old
Cleared the indelible
Cannot sleep through darkened skies
Cannot dream until it's over
7. Cardinal Zero
Centuries, born to break my weary soul
Sanctioning, scorn to break my dearest foes
To rip the face off this
Reaching out I lost control
This soul in shame
All I can take
Who holds the blame
All that I've wasted
Sent to rest, scorn to break my weary soul
Sufferance, force to break my dearest goals
To rid disgrace from this
A loss of mind is lost control
To raise the gate, ever so elated
Erase the day ever so disdained
This soul in shame
All I can take
Who holds the blame
All that I've wasted
Descent awaits never you'll restrain this
Regret awaits forever your embrace
8. Back on Disaster
It's all I want
Clear my mistakes
All adhere to the first disgrace
Caress all with this agony
In dreams I have tried
Don't look back on disaster
Ask your questions in time
Despite the hate are you afraid
All consumed by a surging grace
I've buried all with this agony tears I have cried
Don't look back on disaster
Is there a place and a time
When all your dreams that just break apart you fall apart it seems
Another ending you'd make the start embrace the heart be free
Hail to the bitterness
9. Sons of Perdition
And all I ever want is never
And though I struggle with the pain
And all I ever want is severed
So that you...
So you must respect the shamed
Saviour above never came
Regarding all the pain a pleasure
And though the struggle seems inane
There is no worth in your endeavour
So that you...
So you must accept the rage
Saviour above never came
And I'm saddened the way you go
Sad in the way, beneath.
10. Godless
11. Missing (Everything but the Girl cover)
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
I can almost hear you shout
Down to me
Where I always used to be
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
(The rain)
12. Silent in Heart
And all the time I've wasted searching, you pretend
You never realised how close we're to the end
I'm here like sunshine
I'm here just sometimes
I never dreamed of life so jaded through contempt
As all deception ceases progress through resent
I'm here like sunshine,
I'm here just sometimes,
Let all the hatred go, silent in heart.
