Eternal lyrics

[Originally performed by 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 we greet eternal sleep Are we born to pass away Cry at all that remains Chosen words fail to sustain 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 Now our righteous fathers weep we ll greet eternal sleep Are we born to pass away
