As I Die As I die Stare as eyes uphold me And wait to see right through And curse me... The love has crippled you Shadows haunt the night Burning my disguise As I die Reaping through the truth Life becomes untrue Sin the last diversion My fate will be untouched Dismissed now, the anger of a fool Shadows haunt the night Forgive me as I die Taking a chance And take what you gain My soul it has no price Total release is out of harms way until I can decide You punish me, can't you see, I'm not real Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die Rape of Virtue The end [untold] desire Night reveals unearthly ways I felt [failing lives] abruptive [games] I felt Gripped to life, you must resign all pride [Saved from this and use your darker side] Is your trust in god [abandoned now] Silently, we're doomed Silently, we're doomed The end [untold] desire [rage of] fear inside and not fear you They show my faith expire the truth Waiting for the darker side to greet me Pale my face until you're bleeding for me Death Walks Behind You Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Lock the door, switch the lights You'll be so afraid tonight Hide away from the past Count the nightlights that you have Start to scream, shout for help There is no one by your side To forget what he has done Seems so hard to carry on Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Lock the door, switch the lights You'll be so afraid tonight Hide away from the past Count the nightlights that you have Start to scream, shout for help There is no one by your side To forget what he has done Seems so hard to carry on Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Death walks behind you Eternal (live) Why can't we hear The time must come for us to leave here Emotion has withered away Out 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 As we greet eternal sleep Are we born to pass away Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Nick Holmes - Lead and background vocals Gregor Mackintosh - Lead guitar Aaron Aedy - Rhythm guitar Steve Edmondson - Bass Matthew Archer - Drums Artwork Info All songs copyright control except "Death Walks Behind You" RSO Pub.

The title song of course is great, "Rape of Virtue" is about the same style, "Death walks behind you" I think is a cover, it's a little slower song, but still good. And "Eternal" of course is from the great "Gothic" album. It's a good live recording. A good minicd recommended for all Paradise Lost fans. Rating: 8 out of 10
