[Originally performed by Paradise Lost]
|
|
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 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
|
we ll greet eternal sleep
|
Are we born to pass away
|
