Paradise Lost

I'm tired of dreams, I'm tired of almost everything
Dreams deceive, and living never lasts
Too tired to sleep, denial of grief awakes my sins
Too weak to breathe from living in death's hands

Underneath, a shadow falling
Unbelieving prayers for all who die

Foolish trust
In reverent pain
Foolish trust
The Devil embraced
Foolish trust

I'm trying to give, forgiving is meaning for myself
To see is believe, just remnants of my past

Underneath, a shadow falling
Unbelieving prayer for all who die

Foolish trust
In reverent pain
Foolish trust
The Devil embraced
Foolish trust
In reverent pain
Foolish trust
The Devil embraced

There's nothing more to lose
The pain is over
There's nothing more to lose
Now it's over
To enslave, extinction of self-worth
Chains of rust in this kingdom for the dead
Burn to dust for this wisdom we all dread

Underneath, a shadow falling
Unbelieving prayer for all who die

Foolish trust
In reverent pain
Foolish trust
The Devil embraced
Foolish trust
In reverent pain
Foolish trust
The Devil embraced
