Paradise Lost

(album: Swan Songs - 2008)

So watch my chest heave
As this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
What you're dying to see

I feel like "Fuck man,
Can't take this anymore.
This heart breaks
This is life that's so thankless,
How could he just forsake us?

Breaks us he makes us
Hate us he gave us
Nothing but no trust
And I am so fucked up
So let this gun bond us
Let's hide by this lust
And once we are just dust
He'll know that he loved us

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn,
It's what I deserve.
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So take me and make me
Weaken and save me
This hate that you gave me
Keeps saying the same thing

To sing when you hurt and
To sing when you cry
To sing when you live and
To sing when you die

And here at the end
At the end of the hurt
All the pain ain't the same
When it's your turn to burn
We're the hearts for the heartless,
The thoughts for the thoughtless,
The lies for the honest,
We're the gods of the godless!

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So cry three tears for me,
When it's all gone,
Sing me this song

So cry three tears for me,
When it's all gone,
When it's all gone

I can not stand
Who I am. I'm this man
With this blood on my hands.
In this blood I am damned
So watch my wings burn
As they burn in the fire
Don't scatter the ashes
No need for the choir

Let it all burn,
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve,
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

Burn
Now
Burn

Just let me burn
Now
Burn

Burn!
