Paradise Lost - Internal Torment II Lyrics






As you stare into the depths of darkness
Illusions of your mind pressured by horror
Standing on a plain of desolation
The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the sun
Travel through the uncaring skies
Prepare for this defeat
Once you're dead your eyes are shut forever
Is it just the darkness that greets our pleas?

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life
As I try to speak my voice...
No physical pain you will feel
Is this mental insanity real?

No future an obscenity
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger... why...?
Not allowed to make decisions
If only I could tell them all I can think

In my afterlife, I'll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all...
Able to think, flex my limbs, talk and socialise, live my life

No future an obscenity
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger... why...?
Not allowed to make decisions
If only I could tell them all I can think

    Why did Paradise Lost decide to title this song as Internal Torment 2? it's the same Internal Torment that appeared on the Paradise Lost and Frozen Illusion demos.

    N.... N....

    N N not really the same, they added an extra verse in the beginning

  2. J.... D....

    Good description of how it feels to live with mental illnesses at time. Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul.....

  4. m.... ....

    this is my favorite Paradise Lost album . . . forgive me, I'm an OSDM junkie, haha! even though they're not my cup of cake I admit that their later works are awesome - but this one is for me to worship.

  5. C.... ....

    I didn't know they had a fast death metal song

  6. L.... ....

    Holy fuck Holmes used to have the awesomest DM voice ever. That 0:50 growl/roar is incredible

  7. C.... ....

    i only heard the demo version of this 25 years ago ,i didnt realise they'd released it ,was it a bonus track on the CD version of Lost paradise ?

  8. m.... ....

    @erlend000 no, it's the same band

    This is the real Paradise Lost, at least in the late eighties, early nineties. Top of the tops! A lot of fans went home when they started making more mainstream metal.
