Eternal lyrics
by Paradise Lost



Why can't we hearThe time must come for us to leaveHere emotion has withered awayOur burnt out love has decayedObsessed to leave the EarthTragedy has overrun since birthNow our righteous fathers weepAs the great eternal sleepAre me born to pass awayCry at all that remainsChosen words fail to substanceThe wisdom of powers heardIn dismal thoughts seemingly absurdNow as hope and glory diesWe'll scream at our demiseAre we lost forever more
