The Enemy
Paradise Lost’s sixteenth single. Released on Century Media in 2007. Signed copies of this CD were sold at the London Koko show in April 2007, which was filmed for ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’ DVD / Live album.
Never for the damned
Never saw the light against the world
Never seen a truth in all I’ve heard
Never for the Damned
Flawless, life just revealed as a chain of events you delay
Lawless, life the ordeal with no thread of intention retained
Heaven or denial again I learn
Heresy the truce for all who burn
Never for the Damned
Distress, throw out the dreams which you cry in defence of and pray
Only, rise if the reason determines you cling for the sake
Never there again…
Never lose pretend…
Ascend and fall for me…
We are foe
Self esteems low
Set me free…
Ash & debris
Your beliefs shadow everyday (Never again)
Live and breathe, shelter and restrain (Never again)
Never wanted loss
My ever needing soul
Never wanted blood…
You conceive tragedies innate (Feel so revived)
You redeem fallacy remains (Fear so in mind)
Never wanting loss
Never need control
Never wanting love
Could there be, something that your world depends on in me…
Never wanted loss
My ever needing soul
Never wanted blood…
Could there be, something that your world depends on in me…
Could it be, nothing that you learned from ash and debris?
The enemy
Why can’t you say sorrow
Why can’t you say think I believe
Thou must not steal borrow
Why must you steal things I receive?
Why can’t you say sorrow
Why can’t you say think I believe
Why must you steal borrow
Always conceal cling to belief
Damaged this way hollowed
Living the lie that you can’t take
Damaged maintained solemn
Living for rules you only break
How can you say?
The enemy is thrown into the sadness,
For the enemy there’s only pain and sadness then death…
Praise lamented shade
Never seen such doubt
Never seen without
Forever seemed so right
Understand I try
Endeavour rests inane
Takes us once again…
Somewhere in the air
The world can see a reason I believe
The words deceive the reason I believe
Heaven seemed so right
Understanding lies
Hail the fallen grade
Praise lamented shade
Somewhere in the air
The world can see a reason I believe
The words deceive the reason I believe
So you want to show
The only way you’ve known
A truth for all who see
A cue for all who know
Requiem
Slow the art of fear
Writhe against the fading
In these sheltered years
I escape from this cruel world
Chose to domineer
Thrive against all failing
Are these wretched tears
Just remains of my ruined worth…
You’ll never save me again….
Reanimate me again…
Into the grave
With all the symptoms you create
Into the fray
With all the sickness you’ll remain
Unreachable
More than this
A certain divide ask yourself why,
More than this
Turn back in time wondering why
Then you’ll see, tears won’t wash this away
Memories of the years that started the pain
All of this
Thoughts that unite long been denied
All of this
Anger ignites a lasting goodbye
Then you’ll see, tears won’t wash this away
Memories of the years that started the pain
Can’t you see tears won’t wash out the rage?
Memories fallen years that started the hate
Prelude to descent
Set me down, Oh set me down
On hallowed ground again
Wear me down in prayer confounded
Shadow my torment
It’s dead it’s over all too slow
Can’t you see you’re my worst enemy?
It’s over, overthrown
All I see is just faithless decree
Set me down, Oh lay me down
On ravaged ground again
Lay me down, embrace me now,
My prelude to descent
We never run the same way…
We never run the same…
Fallen children
As creation reaches high,
Generations we deny,
Never again believe me…
Faded questioning remorse
Eases suffering and loss
Never again believe me…
We alone, the fallen children…
Contemplating this resent
Understanding this contempt
Sorry to say it’s easy
Frail the essence of denial
I return to face this trial
Never again believe me…
We alone, the fallen children…
Can’t save me like the others tried
Don’t fail me as the others die
We alone, the fallen children…
Can’t save me, like the others tried
Don’t fail me, as the others die
Beneath black skies
This reprisal search for words
Analyse what it’s worth
Set the stars ablaze from earth
In thoughts sublime we immerse
Another fear I can’t see
All blown away
You say you’ll never run away
From a certain pointing light
Beneath black skies I search for words
Hell relies on what is worse
Heaven lies on sullen earth
Fall then rise
Fall then birth
Another fear I can’t see
All blown away
You say you’ll never run away
From a certain point in life
Is there something wrong?
Nothing I sense no belong
Sedative God
You belong, don’t look back,
No excuses…
When you’re down, face the crowd,
So illusive…
To be the same is always there for me
To feel constrained is always there for me
Can you see the light?
Can you question why?
I wonder how, eternally I’m blind
When you’re strong, have no doubts
So elusive…
When your thoughts face the shroud
Unobtrusive…
To be the same is always there for me
To feel constrained is always there for me
The seeds we never sow
Sedative god
Right way, there’s a wrong way
And there’s no way
Your own reality
All that’s lost never found, remains of all this…
Never crossed are the ones that see
Taken to the ground, because you’re honest
Stripped and bound for your honesty
It’s in your heart, it’s in your soul
Never disguise all the tears that I’ve cried
I took a trip inside I’m weary,
Lay injustice on your head
It’s in your heart, it’s in my soul in your own reality
It’s in my heart it’s in your soul…
You believe that control has freed
Never disguise all the tears that are cried
We all betray despite the theories
But I’m not conscious of the things I did
It’s in your heart, it’s in my soul, in your own reality
It’s in my heart it’s in your soul…
You believe that control has freed
Never disguise all the tears that are cried
Missing (Everything But The Girl cover)
I step off the train
I’m walkin’ down your street again
And past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
It’s years since you’ve been there
But now you’ve disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You’ve found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We’d walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be
I step off the train
I’m walkin’ down your street again
And past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
It’s years since you’ve been there
But now you’ve disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You’ve found some better place
And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
Silent in heart
And all the time I’ve wasted searching, you pretend
You never realised how close we’re to the end
I’m here like sunshine
I’m here just sometimes
I never dreamed of life so jaded through contempt
As all deception ceases progress through resent
I’m here like sunshine,
I’m here just sometimes,
Let all the hatred go, silent in heart…
Sons of perdition
And all I ever want is never
And though I struggle with the pain
And all I ever want is severed
So that you…
So you must respect the shamed
Saviour above never came
Regarding all the pain a pleasure
And though the struggle seems inane
There is no worth in your endeavour
So that you…
So you must accept the rage
Saviour above never came
And I’m saddened the way you go
Sad in the way, beneath.
Godless
