Eternal — Paradise Lost

Why can't we hear The time must come for us to leave Here emotion has withered away Our burnt out love has decayed Obsessed to leave the Earth Tragedy has overrun since birth

Now our righteous fathers weep As the great eternal sleep Are me born to pass away

Cry at all that remains Chosen words fail to substance The wisdom of powers heard In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd

Now as hope and glory dies We'll scream at our demise Are we lost forever more
