Paradise Lost - Embers Fire
A fallen time that’s bygone
A crude elite that’s from a distant zone
You don’t know if it’s the truth you told
Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones
Hold back desire for danger
A bet you lose, you’ll have no way to turn
I see the man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call you own
Don’t run away, from the pain, a claim that you deal with
A power game, from within, impossible for you to see this.
Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who’ll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind’s eye can you see a light
Harmony break, dark awakes, in old eyes - the trouble, feel it
Here to stay, mark the way, improvise the judgment hearing
Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the scense incandescent ones
All remains of the glowing embers
Is a bleak cold irrelevance
