Paradise Lost - Eternal lyrics

Why can't we hear

The time must come for us to leave

Here emotion has withered away

Our burnt out love has decayed

Obsessed to leave the Earth

Tragedy has overrun since birth

Now our righteous fathers weep

As the great eternal sleep

Are me born to pass away

Cry at all that remains

Chosen words fail to substance

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
