this stark town

Paradise Lost

Beyond the weak and dour streets
No solace in the breeze
Its sprawling wings devour me
New dawn greets death s disease
The war within, the suffering
The solemn, endless pleas
The walls are tombs empowering
The dying endless need
Live in sheer decline, aspirations are not foreseen
This stark town bears suffering unbound
The valleys are damned beneath the shroud
In this stark town, there s madness profound
Punish for grand belief, this life we all denounce

Cannot run where you want to be
With a gilded hand too far to see
You harbour empathy
The sweetest smile in tragedy
Always will you conceal the tears
This stark town, there s suffering unbound
Valleys once grand, beneath the shroud
In this stark town, there s sadness profound
Punish the damned in need
This life, we all denounce
