I Remain - Paradise Lost

Blindness as we consider our fate

Within our mortal wake

The will of one astray

To prevail my sins

At God’s gate

At God’s gate

Digress as we consider and fail

Forlorn this empty cage

As treachery invades

You consider the tears

And disengage

Disengage

Tear me down and break me — I remain

Tear me down and break me — I remain

I’ve never seen the love and confidence

To believe the faith and never speak again

Forever seething throes of opulence

To release the pain and never breathe again

Can you release the pain and never speak again

At God’s gate

Tear me down and break me — I remain

Tear me down and break me — I remain

At God’s gate

Tear me down and break me — I remain
