Internal Torment II

Paradise Lost · Lost Paradise [1990]

As you stare into the depths of darkness

Illusions of your mind pressured by horror

Standing on a plain of desolation

The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the Sun

Travel through the uncaring skies

Prepare for this defeat

Once you're dead your eyes are shut forever

Is it just the darkness that greets our pleas?



Trapped in my skull sanity's locked inside

Can't express my feelings the pain I must hide

My body possessed by and unseen force

Crippled for life

As I try to speak my voice

No physical pain you will feel

Is this mental insanity real?



No future an obscenity

Why was I chosen to suffer?

Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul



Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter

I writhe and grit my teeth in anger... why?

Not allowed to make decisions

If only I could tell them all

I can think



In my afterlife I'll rise again

Destroy all the ones who laughed

Kill them all...

Able to think, flex my limbs, talk and socialise, live my life...
