Enchantment Like a fever, fever - inside of me Like a fever, fever - inside of me Stand fast, faithful one See the moon and not the sun but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Breakdown frail affairs Turn from the elsuive starts but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Guilt is feeding, feeding, inside I'm cold In depth grasp the chains Struggle as the waters gain but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Observe the formation fight until the battle's won But I...... All I need is a simple reminder There's no rule to say you'll cry alone Just find the strength to help you carry the load Reverse the frown and let the power surge But when alone you cannot resist the urge Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying Hold on face to face damaged by the sad disgrace but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Twisting the knife in vain end the grief but whol will gain but I...... All I need is a simple excuse Hallowed Land You'd love to be so far away It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain Greet open handed stranger Create the turmoil, you're not sane I want the last one to go to embers will revive, So stay You want to live a life time each and every day You've struggled before, I swear to do it again You've told it before till I, until I'm weakened and sore Seek hallowed land You'd love to see right through my veins The pale reflection tells all, predominations sustain Crawl over land or mountain in sight the ultimate escape A silhouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again You've prayed before who are the prayers for Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know accept reclining spirit I need to endure You try to live a lifetime each and every day In this short time of promise, you're a memory...... The Last Time It's a struggle with a failures frown And it crashes in front of me I see the clouds divide Will you stay or try to leave The time you're looking at through the door And think to walk right through I want to ignore I only wish that it passes soon I raise a sunken smile As I serve only the ones who served What can I achieve As you steal the air I breathe A cruel misfortune Forbidding is to see When stories may collide It's a sad state of mind Hearts beating for the last time Hearts beating it is a state of mind Hearts beating for the last time The peace you cannot find Forever Failure You must feel frustration Cause your mind feels such temptation And your ways appear a total lack of faith You may feel elation At your body's re-creation And that joy you need, restricted by one thought Are you forever - loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever - pale, regarded as a waste of time High times are courageous But in truth they suit no purpose Induced, reduced, unable and afraid...... Can you feel rejection And a lack of motivation And the joy you need restricted and delayed Once Solemn Once solemn, the thing I'm leaving alone Once solemn, the looks that turn one to stone And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the panic inside And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the fake promises Your powers electrify me Your prowess repels apathy Your image can turn your soul to stone Can't find another way Can't find the words to say...... Unchaining the thing that's holding me down And it's frustrating, the pressure's getting me down And it's trying to live with a bad decision every day It's a fever that's eating away in search for a fast release Your powers electrify me Devour the one that's guilty Your image can turn a soul to stone Can't find another way Can't find the words to say...... Your powers electrify me Devour the one who's guilty Your prowess repels apathy Your image can turn a soul to stone Shadowkings A spiral movement, the ultimate mystery Will you show....will you show who you are? It's the truth that untrue suspicion is spreading like a disease Do you know if it is real? Voices appear inside my brain Their need, to set me free Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Encourage the madness they welcome impurity I don't know....I don't know....who I am! Fallen blind to the cruel hysteria that's constantly challenging Me, all alone...all alone... can't be real Voices approve I can't relate Their need to celebrate Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Voices approve, the quest begins Fuel for the shadowkings Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Elusive Cure Take a pact, hide the fuel that's gathered here Pale in view a fool resigns and taken over Skin your pride , it's stripped and taken from you Buried deep are the souls that are waiting for you For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear...... Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it Rising ages increase elusive cures A morla life sacrificed, greed's taken over Ride to take and the craving's buried deeper Reaching out grasping arms that are waiting for you For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear...... Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it Yearn for Change Approaching a silence, a blur of subsidence Time may heal all troubles, is that what I've found? Joy entices all, until death's lonely shroud But I know it's forever...... Praying for a change Our lives leading onwards, the essence is stronger Memories of life drifting further away I must doubt that where There's a will there's a way...... But I know, it's forever Life is all the pain we endeavour Shades of God The fire is gone, a time to search and then replace I'll never know just how the blind can lead the way They search for faith, it shows the way...it leads the way The distant smile, banished denial, no more denial Are you the one who tries to send me to the grave I cannot know who deals resent who deals the pain Weak search for faith A path to take, you tread in vain Hands of Reason I speak of people whose game is disguise The myth of flavour appears with no sign 'Cause I see it coming, like a long lost friend A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray Inane, the pleasures that leave a sorry state You're told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait but wait for tomorrow and steal some sanity Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back As I now fall......fall into deprivation Fall....fallen there's still tomorrow Love hides the things you'll never know A lack of reason that makes a mortal man Untold the treason, the past where it began 'Cause I see horror, horror to think about Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back As I see the blood, blood on the hands of reason Blood, bloody the hands that lead me Love for the ones you cannot know I See Your Face Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay It's a time that's for myself I'm laying low, strife is gaining slow A kind of anguish I don't need...... When I see your frown, hurt will put me down If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time That I can see a light shining Will you make it slow, pure evil makes it slow I know you're brandishing the sign Dare I take a chance? In this circumstance Or will I leave without a hope When you seal me fate sorrow turns to hate If I can see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time That I can see a light shining What one man makes is there for one to take A single handed fall from grace Hearts beating just, beating till the last A draining feeling's all that I know When I see your frown, it becomes my frown If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time? That I can see a light shining Jaded Opaque the dissident etablishment That we all suffer Refill the porous shell with words that mean so many things Words mean so many things The feeling can't avoid you Stoking the fires of absence Loss and anguish long departed Adjust to changes re-arranging, burns in many ways Pain burns in mnay ways The feeling can't avoid you Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Nick Holmes - Vocals Gregor Mackintosh - Lead and Acoustic Guitars Aaron Aedy - Rhythm and Acoustic Guitars Steve Edmondson - Bass Guitar Lee Morris - Drums and Percussion Artwork Info Recorded at Great Linford Manor and Ridge Farm Studios, England, January - March 1995 Produced by Simon Efemey for Zomba Management Ltd Engineered by Pete 'Pee Wee' Coleman Assisted by Andy Griffin, Phil Wood and Phil Luff Mixed by Simon Efemey and Pete 'Pee Wee' Coleman All keyboards by Andrew Holdsworth Choral arrangements by the Guildford Dead Boys Choir Live Sound produced & engineered by Simon Efemey Live tracks recorded in Germany 'Weeping Words' demo and 'The Last Time' demo recorded at Academy Studios, Dewsbury February '93 and October '94 'Forever Failure' video edit - additional production & remix by Brian New for 140db Mastered by Kevin Metcalfe at Townhouse Studios, London All tracks published by Zomba Music Publishers Limited except 'Walk Away' (Hussey/Eldritch) published by Polygram Music / BMG Music All illustrations and photography by Holly Warburton except band photograph by Richard Littlewood Spoken dialogue on 'Forever Failure' from 'Charles Manson - The Man Who Killed The Sixties' produced by Box Productions for Channel Four Television Corporation Management: Northern Music Co Agency: International Talent Booking Information service and fan club: The Painless P.O.Box 411 Bradford West Yorkshire England BD6 2LQ (please enclose SAE or 2 IRC's) Review A lot of people think this is a great Paradise Lost album, but most of those people have never heard the albums before. I thought the Icon album was a bit of a disappointment and I think this album is even less. Of course there are some good songs on it, like 'Forever Failure', but also a lot of songs I don't care about at all. Actually the reason I bought this album was because of the bonus disc, which contains some live versions of cool old Paradise Lost songs. And the 'The Last Time' single which is even worse than the Draconian Times album. Seems like Paradise Lost now definitely stepped away from the doom/death metal. Rating: 6.5 out of 10
