Альбом Paradise Lost

AWARE OF SOME, AWARE OF NOTHING MORE,
I HAVE NO FAITH I CANNOT SETTLE SCORES,
YOU HOPE SOME DAY, I'LL MOVE OUT OF THE DARK,
YOUR WISHES FAIL 'CAUSE I AM NOTHING...

[CHORUS]
SLAVE TO IT ALL ONCE AGAIN I FEAR,
SLAVE TO IT ALL ARE THE ONES MOST DEAR,

THRILLING YOU ALL WITH MY TALES NOT REAL,
YOU BELIEVE IN THEM TIME AFTER TIME...

ON HOPELESS DAYS I SIT AND JUSTIFY,
A WHOLESOME LIFE, OF WHICH I'M SO DEPRIVED,
I HOPE AND PRAY, THAT I WON'T STAY AROUND,
TOO LONG TO STAIN, 'CAUSE I AM NOTHING...

[CHORUS]

HOPE SOMEDAY?
I COULD BE WRONG...

FEEL SO LOW SOME DAYS
AND ONLY I CAN TASTE
RESENT SECURITY
OBSCURING ALL I SEE

IN MY MIND
IN MY MOUTH
IN MY SOUL
ONLY YOU PROVIDE THESE SYMPTOMS THAT I SHOW

I COULD GO OUT IN STYLE
GO BACK FROM WHERE I CAME
BUT LUCK SEES TO US ALL
AND RARELY PLAYS THE GAME

WE'VE SEEN IT ALL THROUGH MANY YEARS OF LONESOME HELL
BACK TO A PLACE WHERE WE ALL TERMINATE

IT'S IN MY HEART; IT'S IN YOUR SOUL,
YOU CHOOSE TO JUDGE,
IS THAT YOUR ROLE?
DON'T ANALYSE OR COMPLICATE,
YOU'LL CRITISISE, YOU CAN'T RELATE...

AND NOW YOU WANT SOME UNDERSTANDING.
WHAT'S MY POINT OF VIEW?

[CHORUS]
THEN I'LL JUST FADE AWAY
WHEN I HEAR ALL YOUR LIES I CHOKE
THEN I'LL JUST FADE AWAY
SUFFERING FROM THE TIMES YOU SPOKE I FADE

REGARDING MORE? JUST SEEMS MUCH LESS.
SO CYNICAL YOU MUST CONFESS.
I'M DYING HERE, COMPLETELY BLIND
YOUR WILL TO LIVE- JUST DAMPENS MINE,

AND NOW YOU WANT SOME UNDERSTANDING...
WHAT'S MY POINT OF VIEW?

[CHORUS]

I NEED IT THE MOST, MOST SUBTLE
UNNECESSARY TROUBLE.

ABUSING TOO MUCH, REGARDLESS
THE SMALLEST TASTE IS HARMLESS

SO LOOK AT ME NOW.
SO LOOK AT ME NOW.

SO EAGER TO SAY, IT'S "NOTHING"
THE LIFESTYLE THAT YOU'RE OFFERING...

A PROMISE OF HOPE HAS SHATTERED
BUT DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

SO LOOK AT ME NOW
SO LOOK AT ME NOW

[MIDDLE 8]

WITH ALLURING HONESTY
IT SEEMS MY ONLY CRUTCH,
MY ACQUIRED PROFANITY
IT SEEMS TO BE. IT SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH

SO LOOK AT ME NOW.
SO LOOK AT ME NOW.

ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE
CHAOS, CRISIS, ALWAYS FEEDS OFF ME,
THEN YOU'LL GET CARRIED AWAY,
THE TRAUMA IS ALL TOO REAL.

AND OHH TOO MUCH, IT'S IN MY SOUL DON'T LET IT SHOW
AND OHH TOO MUCH, IT'S IN MY HEAD DON'T LET IT GROW AGAIN

AS I'M WALKING I'M BREATHLESS, I'D WELCOME CLARITY
MY FINAL EXCITEMENT WAS FAILING TO AGREE
THEN YOU'LL GET CARRIED AWAY
THE DRAMA IS ALL TOO NEAR...

AND OOH TOO MUCH, IT'S IN MY SOUL DON'T LET IT SHOW AND OOH, TOO
MUCH, IT'S IN MY HEAD DON'T LET IT GROW AGAIN

[CHORUS REPEATED....]

ARRAY OF FORTUNATE LIFE
BUT COULD YOU LIVE THROUGH THE FIGHT
NO YOU COULDN'T...
ALL THE YEARS OF SHELTERED EMOTION
ALL THESE YEARS I'VE SEEN NO DEVOTION

FROM YOU I COULD I OFFER HONESTY
IF EVERYDAY OFFERED SOMETHING REAL

DECAY OF FORTUNE AND MIGHT
BUT WOULD YOU STAND UP AND FIGHT
NO YOU WOULDN'T
ALL THESE YEARS WITHOUT ANY NOTION
ALL THE YEARS I'VE SEEN NO DEVOTION FROM YOU

[CHORUS]

THIS YOUR ONLY GRACE.
THE ART OF CONVERSATION,
REGARDING COMMON SENSE.
AS MERELY AN INFLICTION,

DIVIDED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE STAND

MAYBE YOU'RE CONTENT.
RELYING ON RELIGION,
YOU STEAL WITHOUT CONSENT.
JUST CONSUMMATES MY THEORY,

DIVIDED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE STAND

DIVIDED WE'LL STAND.
REGARDLESS WE'LL FALL.
HOW SUBTLE THE WORDS WE'VE COME TO KNOW,
DIVIDED WE STAND.
DETERMINED TO FALL.
JUST LIKE THIS HOLLOW WORLD THAT SLEEPS INSIDE OF ME................

DIVIDED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE STAND

IT'S NOT WITHOUT IT'S CONSEQUENCE
IT'S NOT WITHOUT ITS JOY

SELL IT TO MYSELF
SELL IT TO MYSELF
THEN SELL IT TO THE WORLD.

IT'S NOT WITHOUT BELLIGERENCE
IT'S NOT WITHOUT A PLOY

SELL IT TO MYSELF
SELL IT TO MYSELF
THEN SELL IT TO THE WORLD.

IT THRIVES IN ONE FRATERNITY
AND SLOWLY WILL DESTROY

SELL IT TO MYSELF
SELL IT TO MYSELF
THEN SELL IT TO THE WORLD.

MURDER MORE OR LESS,
THE ANGER RAGES.
BLAME YOUR LONELINESS,
BLAME YOUR SITUATION.

THE ESSENCE IS HOW
MUCH PLEASURE ALLOWED
SOLUTION IS STEALING

THE TIMES THAT YOU TRY,
SO MANY MUST DIE,
THEIR LOSS SO APPEALING

MURDER MORE OR LESS
THE SENSE ENGAGES
BLAME UNWILLINGNESS
BLAME YOUR COMPLICATIONS

THE ESSENCE IS HOW,
MUCH PLEASURE ALLOWED,
SOLUTION IS STEALING.
TIMES THAT YOU TRY
SO MANY MUST DIE
THEIR LOSS APPEALING.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO SAY?
NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO SAY?
NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN.

SET YOU HEART AT A PACE NO ONE COULD FOLLOW
UNTIL ITS RIGHT IN THE FACE NO ONE WOULD SWALLOW

WE THE SUBTLE DAMNED, REFUSE TO FOLLOW
AND WE ARE DETERMINED TO CONTROL

SO MANY HOURS IN THE DAY IN WHICH YOU'LL SUFFER
THE SAVIOUR YOU DELEGATE JUST BASKS IN POWER

WE THE SUBTLE DAMNED, REFUSE TO FOLLOW
AND WE ARE DETERMINED TO CONTROL

WE'VE LOST IT ALL
WE BREED CONTEMPT
WITH YEARS TO GO A WEALTH OF DEBT
A SIMPLE RETREAT

BUT YOU SAY ITS ALL OVER, YOU'RE DOWN BY THE WATER
THERE SOMETHING'S YOU CAN'T CONCEAL,
IT'S THE SAME OLD SHOW,
MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW,
GO AND FIND SOME REASONS TO LIVE....

ALWAYS A MISTAKE I'M SELFLESS,
ALWAYS A MISTAKE I FEEL,
BUT THERE'S MANY TIMES WHEN YOU SEEM SO SHALLOW,
THERE'S MANY TIMES WHEN YOU'RE WITHOUT WORTH.

BUT YOU SAY IT'S ALL OVER, YOU'RE DOWN BY THE WATER,
THEY'RE SOMETHING'S YOU CAN'T CONCEAL,
IT'S THE SAME OLD SHOW,
MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW,
GO AND FIND SOME REASONS TO LIVE....

THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO HEAR THIS,
THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN,
AND THERE MAYBE YEARS WHEN YOU'RE LOST IN DARKNESS
MAYBE YEARS WHEN YOU'RE INCOMPLETE

BUT YOU SAY ITS ALL OVER, YOU'RE DOWN BY THE WATER,
THERE SOMETHING'S YOU CAN'T CONCEAL,
IT'S THE SAME OLD SHOW,
MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW,
GO AND FIND SOME REASONS TO LIVE....

WASHED OUT YOUR SIMPLE WORLD,
BUT IT SEEMS TO REAPPEAR,
WITHOUT, YOUR SIMPLE WORDS,
YOU CANNOT INTERFERE.

AND NOW ITS SO ABSURD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING

AND FOR YOUR "SO CALLED" FRIENDS
THEY ALWAYS SEEMED SO DEAR
BUT WHEN IT ALL GOT WORSE
THEY SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR

AND NOW ITS SO ABSURD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING

Wish it all away; it's all the same to you
Living eternally is all you wish to do

And if I said that you'll come down
You'll remain...
And if I said you must come down
You'll remain...

Villain or a saint its all a game to me
Laughing in the face of it all
I swear you've always been

And if I said that you'll come down
You'll remain....
And if I said you must come down
You'll remain....

And if I said that you seem lonely again
Cause your speaking too much, but your efforts in vein
And I think that you'll lose your mind someday
Why don't you leave this alone?
Why don't you leave this alone?

Wish it all away; it's all the same to you
Laughing eternally is all you seem to do

And if I said that you'll come down
You'll remain....
And if I said you must come down
You'll remain....

I Bide My Time On These Lonely Nights
But It's Always On My Mind

Seems A Shame Cause It's So Inane
But It's Always On My Mind

The Lessons That We've Learned
The Lessons That Are Waiting
All The Sins I've Done
All The Lives Were Taking

All The Time That I've Set Aside
But It's Always On My Mind
Ill Awake, I Acquire And Take
But There's Something I Can't Find

The Years That I've Spent Cold
Are Years That I've Being Wasting
All The Sins That I've Done
All The Time I've Taken

All The Sins We've Learned
All The Sin That's Waiting
Lessons That We've Heard
Promises I'm Breaking

EXPEL AT COST
I'VE LOOKED FOR VALUATION
RETURN WHAT'S LOST
IVE THRIVED ON AGITATION

I LIVE IN FEAR
FEAR OF MY CONTRADICTION

FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRES

IM FREE THIS WAY

NO LOVE IS LOST
NO LOVE OF CONDESCENDING
WHO DO I TRUST?
TRUSTING OR JUST PRETENDING
MAYBE ITS WRONG.
MAYBE IM SPECULATING

FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRED

IM FREE THIS WAY

THE PATH I CROSS
IS STREWN WITH ALTERATIONS
ALL AT A LOSS
BARGAIN INFATUATION
WHY DID I TRY?
CAUSE IT'S SO COMPLICATED

I FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRED

IM FREE THIS WAY

ACCEPT THIS BITTER PAIN
ACCEPT THIS BITTER PAIN
THERE'S TOO MANY SEASONS HAVE CHANGED
THERE'S TOO MANY REASONS TO CHANGE

AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
WHEN ID GONE?
AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO BREAKDOWN
WHEN ID GONE?

YOUR WRATH HAS BEING UNCHAINED
YOUR WRATH HAS BEING UNCHAINED

THERE'S TOO MANY FEELING ESTRANGED
THERE'S TOO MANY LEAVING THE STAGE

AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
WHEN ID GONE?
AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO BREAKDOWN
WHEN ID GONE?
