Paradise Lost - Joys Of The Emptiness lyrics

Breathing here, and the air is clear

Changes of which I could foresee

Violence caressing, impending distress

As my body lay sleeping eternally bleeding, and...

Shallow despair, broken years cannot repair

Summoned here, and all must see the hypocrisy

Peel back the face, the sorry mind, a vacant space

Born deprived, the moods expired in reality

A fantasy, based on harmony

A victim released accordingly

Scatter the ashes, remains of life's passages,

Mocking the meaningless, joys of the empty, and...

Mighty and proud, reaching up to touch the shroud

Tangled here, and far beyond from atrocity

Frozen and cold, bleak the memories of old

Times capsize the born desires for technology
