Paradise Lost - Eternal (live) lyrics

Why can't we hear

The time must come for us to leave here

Emotion has withered away

Out burnt out love has decayed

Obsessed to leave the earth

Tragedy has overrun since birth

Now our righteous fathers weep

As we greet eternal sleep

Are we born to pass away

Cry at all that remains

"Chosen words" fail to sustain

The wisdom of powers heard

In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd

Now as hope and glory dies

We'll scream at our demise

Are we lost forever more

Now our righteous fathers weep

As we greet eternal sleep

Are we born to pass away
