Lyrics for Paradise Lost as interpreted by coxistence

Paradise Lost Lyrics
[verse 1]
So watch my chest heave as this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be what you're dying to see
Feel like fuck, man
Can't take this anymore
This heartbreak
This life that's so fateless
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 side by this lust
And once we are just us, he'll know that he loves us


[chorus]
Let it all burn
I will burn first
God, I 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?

[verse 2]
So take me and make me
Weaken and save me
This hate 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
We're the heart for the heartless
The thoughts for the thoughtless
The lies for the liars
We're the gods of the godless

[chorus]
Let it all burn
I will burn first
God, I 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?

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
Let it all burn
I will burn first
God, I 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?

Wow, this song came out of left field on the album. It's pretty much the complete opposite of everything else on it.

This song is AMAZING, the meaning is taken form a 17th century poet that created 12 stories called Paradise Lost... the poetry tells the story of Satan as a protaginist (good guy) and how he deals with gods world... The song is Satans thoughts about hell,

I'm not certain, but I think these are the correct lyrics for the song with the exception of one line. They aren't much different, but I for sure can't make out what that one line is. Listen closely and let me know what you think.

[verse 1]
So watch my chest heave as this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be what you're dying to see
Feel like f**k, man
Can't take this anymore
This heartbreak this
This life that's so fateless
How could he just forsake us?
Breaks us, he makes us, hate us, he gave us
Nothing but no trust, and I am so f**ked up
So let this gun bond us, let's side by this lust
And once we are just us, he'll know that he loved us


[chorus]
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?

[verse 2]
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 heart for the heartless
The thoughts for the thoughtless
[not sure what this line is but it maybe sounds something like The lies for the endless. that doesn't really make sense tho.]
We're the gods of the godless

[chorus]
Let it all burn
I will burn first
God, I 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?

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
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!
NO!!
BURN!
JUST LET ME BURN
NO!!
BURN!
BURN!!


This song has more passion than any other of theirs in my opinion. I love it, but it is so sad. Like.. to feel so hopeless.. it's heart breaking. I don't know what to think of it, but it is by far my favorite of theirs.

oh and also.. the line
"Breaks us, he makes us"
could also be
"Racist he makes us"
it makes more sense, but sometimes it sounds like breaks us and sometimes it sounds like racist. i can't tell. lol.

I also think that maybe when he says "He'll know that he loved us" he says "He'll know that he left us." but maybe not. somebody needs to comment here and help me lol.

Amazing song, love it :-).


Only one thing to object about in the lyrics, where it says

"The lies for the liars" is it not:

"The lies for the honest"? I think it makes more sense.

"Can't take this anymore, This heartbreak, This life that's so fateless, How could he just forsake us?
Racist he makes us, hate us, he gave us Nothing but no trust, and I am so fucked up"

Great song =) I love all their shit so much.

p.s. Lol I think it's funny when people don't believe in God just because their life isn't perfect.
mattehMONSTER, free will is the reason God doesn't step in. Why should he have to clean up what our own race did? Not like we had to destroy this world, it's not his fault, why should he have to fix it?

I agree with matteh on this one, the entire lyric adds up to God in a nutshell. Great song either way though!

i think its funny that people who do believe in god believe there oh so superior to those that dont. :)
christianity, or any other religion for that matter, are for idealistic and naive people, who want to believe theres someone watching over.

atheism - realistic.
theres no over all "force" that can look over us all. a single force couldnt have created a universe spanning infinitely.

I think this song, is vaugely asking God that if i have done all this shit in my life, are you going to take me as i am, or are you goin to let the hate that i was born with take over my soul and let me burn,
but thats just my .02
great song anyway

After I ordered the album, I saw outside this one car and it said really big something else in the middle but it really fits the song. "Born to die - Live to fight." Doesn't that get tiring though?
Throughout the verses it's about the different sorts of pain we get (from breaking, hating, etc) just to get what we 'need' (life to continue suffering) or want (peace over dreams away).

:/ I'm probably wrong but I'm thinking: Paradise = Heaven ; Lost = No longer allowed to

The whole burning thing reminds me of going to hell for not being a complete angel yourself and asking all the 'why's in life instead of 'what's.

Usually last songs on albums suck and are left ignored, but this one stands out and just has to be heard. :)

Its not up to God where you'll end up after you're dead. Its up to you and the things you do as a person and to others. Any religion is a decision made by its believer, I dont knock any of them. I love God and the things that happen in life arent up to us, I could pray all day and live the most honest life but still die tomorrow from a hemroid infection. But hey shit happens =] And atleast I know where Im going and I dont leave that up to God. Its my decision and Heaven's for me. Biitches.

This and Young changed my mind about HU.
I thought they were another stupid dime a dozen rap rock band.
Also I hate scene kids, so that doesn't help.
But they actually have some talent as song writers.

To me, this is a really passionate song, and it reminds me of how I used to feel when I thought about god.

"he gave us nothing but no trust"

I remember the inner turmoil I felt years ago, and how I felt a mix of longing, confusion, and hurt when I thought of this all-loving god who seemed so absent. No matter how many believers argue otherwise, I consider it doing nothing when good people suffer. And all for the sake of free will? Are we always supposed to feel like we messed up and deserve this, for this huge sin that all of us have to pay for yet none of us played a part in? And so we're given no trust, from the beginning. It's a terrible feeling.

I agree with a lot of the comments on here about 'god in a nutshell' etc.

And as much as I don't want to engage in any arguments, I can't help but point out, Lil Fitch - "Why should he have to clean up what our own race did? Not like we had to destroy this world, it's not his fault, why should he have to fix it?" - yes, because we all got together to create a giant hurricane.

I won't get into the pointless arguement of Religion on this topic. I'll just give my interpretation of what I think, as always.

The singer is singing out on a field, and his friends are in their house doing nothing, just thinking about life and religion. As the singer continues the song, the sky starts to cloud up and thunder. When the third verse starts, the singer's friends follow him as he walks to the top of hill. The singer screams to the sky, about how he has blood on his hands and is damned. Suddenly, as the chorus starts, lightning strikes the earth, barely missing the singer and his friends, proving that their is a higher power. The song ends with all of the band members looking up into the sky, amazed.
