Paradise Lost - The Plague Within lyrics



Tracks



01. No Hope In Sight

No hope in sight
Daylight before them dies
Enshrined the horrified
No hope in sight

Have I prayed
As a slave of lasting cry's
To obey
To sedate as humour dies

Cold embrace
Is the saviour in disguise
Through old age
Only danger never dies
Never dies

It's a battle
As the years start to fade
It's a battle
As the years start to fade

No hope in sight
A light before us dies
Aligned the horrified
No hope in sight

You'll face your fears
Through faded years
It's a battle
As the years start to fade
It's a battle
As the years start to fade

No hope in sight
Daylight before them dies
Enshrined the horrified
No hope in sight

02. Terminal

A frail form surrounds
Infection, sorrow, screams aloud
Trade your soul connect to fear
Feeding death, tormented downed

Forget the past, are you still believing tonight's denial dominates the dreaming

A veiled mourner's frown
Tomorrows dreams confound
Trade the souls you hold most dear

Into darkness you're the last

Forget the past, are you still believing
Tonight's denial dominates the dreaming

I can hope as silence and torture grows
The violence we now condemn infests our inner souls

Regret the past, are you still believing, tonight's denial dominates the dreaming

I can hope as silence and torture grows

A frail form surrounds
Infection, sorrow, screams aloud
Trade your soul connect to fear
Feeding death, tormented downed

03. An Eternity Of Lies

All eyes see
Such shattered scenes
Of sorry surrender

Secrecy, an empire bleeds
Its fallen pretenders

Fear the isolation
Returning life it dies in the dark

The fear it yearns
The years they burn

All my dreams
A make believe
A sorry endeavour

Self-esteems entire need
Demolished forever

The fear it yearns
The years they burn
Until the hour we adapt
Until the hour we collapse

04. Punishment Through Time

Neglect afraid to say
Repentance awaits
Rejected jaded decayed
A vengeance awaits

Behold the darkness true the light
The flame upon us soon ignites
The depth of solemn ones disdain
A yearning dread forever slaves

Punishment through Time

Unfold the righteous soon ordained
Inside a tomb of souls disgraced
The depths of solemn tears disdain
Returning death into the grey

Punishment through Time

You perceive your life & goals depressed
You conceal a crisis, souls repressed

Reaching out untied for sudden death

Neglect afraid to say
Repentance awaits
Rejected jaded decayed
A vengeance awaits

05. Beneath Broken Earth

Before us the King
As lifeless hearts sink

Before us lays dreams
A light no one sees

Hail to nothingness
You wish to die

Hail to Godliness
You wish to die

Ungodliest ones
The circle is done
Ungodliest ones

Hail to nothingness
You wish to die

Hail to Godliness
You wish to die

Before us the King
Our lifeless hearts sink

Before us beneath
A light no one sees

06. Sacrifice The Flame

The darkest past
Forever could last
Beneath the sanctity I pray
For honesty's sake

Never sail the lie
When its scorn is brought to life
Forever sacrifice the flame

The die is cast
The circle one less
Through brief insanity I pray
For honesty's sake

Never say deny
When its scorn is brought to life
Forever Sacrifice the flame

So heartless so
Careless dreams torment the soul

So dark the souls
Spare us dreams torment the soul

07. Victim Of The Past

Lost faith in others
Lost faith in all

Fading trust evermore
Ashamed of what we endure

Into the grave, the heartless
Consoled in darkness
A lack of faith

No one can save you now
Thorns you wear as a shroud

Born to save, the night has fallen
Born to save, just save us from the past

No-one can save you now
Fortune tears as you drown

Sworn disdain, the knife has fallen
Sworn to save, the victims of the past

The others
The guiding flame

Lost faith in others

Lost faith in all

Fading trust evermore
Ashamed of what we endure
Into a veil of darkness
Console the heartless
A lack of faith

Born to save the night has fallen
Born to save just save us from the past

No-one can save you now
Thorns you wear as a shroud all victims of the past

08. Flesh From Bone

My reality, flawed you oppress me
Immortality whored by God as the claws are left in me

My insanity, fallen dignity
Whored by God as we're drenched in slavery

Peeling skin flesh from bone
Dealing sin, none shall roam

See the righteous fall at the rise of the damned, denied
See others crawl in the hour demand and fight

Unto deadly sin I fall
Praise to deadly sin!

My reality, flawed you oppress me
Immortality, whored by God as the claws are left in me

Peeling skin flesh from bone
Dealing sin, none shall roam

See the righteous fall as the rise of the damned, denied.
See others crawl to the towers of rancid spite

To the deadly king I fall
To the deadly king!

09. Cry Out

Too ashamed to lie and so betray
Too afraid denials slow intake

Cry out as you flee disaster

Doomed a failure, life is sold and played
Universals spineless cause is frayed

Cry out as you flee disaster

A spear impaled in settled dust
Tortured, drained, the fire crushed
Lost in vein no others trust
Reaching the death of innocence
You cry out as sinners against the world
You the break the chain you feed reaction
Too ashamed you lie and so betray
Too afraid denials slow intake

Cry out as you flee disaster

You cry out as sinners against the world
You the break the chain you feed reaction

10. Return To The Sun

Fortunes jaws embrace
At failures loss throughout the days

Deploring scorn we face
My pain is loss through disarray

Return To the sun

Face to look inside my mind
A place you've never been
Face to look inside my mind
A place you've never dreamed

Vermilion the sands
The gallant slain

Your fallen God's afraid
Eternal dying night & day

All folded laws are frayed
A sullen tragic masquerade

Return to the sun

Face to look inside my mind
A place you've never been
Face to look inside my mind
A place you've never dreamed

Return to the sun

11. Fear Of Silence

In this nightmare that you and I know best
You and all the rest

In this nightmare that you and I confess
You and I regret

The face in the dark cloud haunts me
The safety in silence taunts me

All that I share, indifference at best
You damaged all intent

For all the sins I've done, I still belong

12. Never Look Away

Domination reigns
Born again life ascends
The sullen see the shame

Termination fails
Sworn intent I repent
As deprivation rains

Devastations rage
Torn again, I resent
This sudden seal of fate

Acquisitions fail
I repent my descent
In sullen grief and shame

Life is to compare
Suffering at the hands of darkness
All sink to despair
Suffering at the hands of darkness

Anticipation it feeds
A son of faith to offer life
Aggravation it feeds
To honour pain, dishonour life

Domination reigns
Born again life ascends
The sullen see the shame

Afraid to look around
High as death surrounds
Afraid look away

Afraid of looking down
Never look away
