Eternal Lyrics

Eternal lyrics

[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
