Symbol Of Life Lyrics
All alone beside myself
And I've troubles on my mind
And I hear that death's alright
Still I'll wait for you to try
And the torment has begun
My emotions run
Always dwell on what I've lost
Just a loaded gun...
As the day turns into night
I remove myself from sight
And I hear death's part of life
Still I wish that you would try
And the torment has begun
The rejections done
Always aware of what I've lost
Just a loaded gun...

(Sorry, that's for the 'latest comment' box.)
Paradise Lost basically created the current 'dark/keyboard metal' genre that's so popular right now, and it's frustrating to see bands who aren't half as good as they are become more and more successful with woefully derivative sounds.
That said, these lyrics are wrong. Corrections follow.
I always heard "Not a lot, not a lot is said of me, not a lot to say..." at the end of the song.
@MenjoPenjo that part is missing from the lyrics that were posted... you and me both hear it

"And I hear death's part of life" SHOULD BE "And I hear it's part of life"
"I get by with what I've got Always aware of what I've lost" SHOULD BE
"Can't get by with what I've got Always dwell on what I've lost"
I think there might be one more mistake in there, but I've forgotten what it is. Oops. Maybe not.
the theme of this song is the same as depeche modes "barrel of a loaded gun"
i picture a soldier being completely traumatized by war.
