Paradise Lost Lyrics
So watch my chest heave
As this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
What you're dying to see
I feel like "fuck man,
Can't take this, anymore,
This heart, break this."
This is life that's so thankless,
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 hide by this lust
And once we are just dust
He'll know that he loved us
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?
So take me and make me
Weakened 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,
The lies for the honest
We're the gods of the godless!
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?
So cry 3 tears for me,
When it's all gone,
Sing me this song
So cry 3 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
I'll scatter the ashes
No need for the choir
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
Now
Burn
Just let me burn
Now
Burn
Burn!

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
^^^NICELY SAID^^^ i also think its kinda like that... i think its about all the messed up things hes done in his life such as drugs and everything said in there other songs.... if god will still accept him

We are born into this world of evil, and we are raised to be the way we are, how can we be blamed and punished for the world we never created?

EXACTLY. You're right. Thanks.

This song has heavy references to the actual text Paradise lost. the song as a whole, I can't interpret, because to me it's to general. But you can pick specific lines out that I think are references to Satan falling from grace.
And as for the guy below me. Shut the fuck up. It's people like you that do not respect other religions or lack thereof that make me sick. It's people like you that make us other Christians look bad. Some people don't believe in god, so accept it. This country was built on the basis of separation of church and state for a reason.
Wow, this song came out of left field on the album. It's pretty much the complete opposite of everything else on it.
wow, the last thing i ever expected from these guys was a song about god.
but its a nice change. i like it. :)
and.. well i suppose at the end where it says : Burn! No! it could be Burn! Now! but i think it's no.. i dunno tho.
@monicamarie182 it does say "now"

"Lies for the honest"
fix plz thx.
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.
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?
if he created us in his image, we would be omni-benevolent, we would be perfect. The bible says we suffer for the mistakes of Adam and Eve, were they not supposed to be perfect? And why should we have to suffer for their mistakes? Think about that. Think what you want, but you are an idiot and need to open your eyes. The hardest thing for people to believe is that maybe things don't have to come from something, just because everything in our world has a beginning and an end, it doesn't mean everything everywhere does.

spddin Are you suggesting that everything just happened by chance? Adam and Eve had free will, too. also..have you ever noticed that everyone who hates God only hates him because they made bad choices and now their lifestyle isn't perfection? Maybe if YOU would open your eyes instead of believing you are the higher power, Faith would be good to you.

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.
Not sure if this is what it means, but to me, i see it saying he did something some Christians and the bible interpret as "wrong" and that he's going to hell, and he's been trying to be forgiven, but they say he can't be so he's done with it all, and "let me burn" and "its what i deserve" just mean that if he can't be forgiven, then just let him to go hell beacuse he's done trying.
