PARADISE LOST LYRICS

1. I Am Nothing

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...

2. Mouth

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

3. Fader

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]

4. Look At Me Now

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

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

5. Illumination

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]

6. Something Real

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]

7. Divided

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

8. Sell It To The World

It's not without its 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

9. Never Again

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

10. Control

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

11. No Reason

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....

12. World Pretending

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
