Lydia Songtext

von Paradise Lost

Through the searching lights
That weave and dart
Comes the stranger that cares
Not for your heart
The pain of living life this way
Must take its toll on you some day.
Your jaded eyes can′t see
Embarrassment or harm
The frail skin that bleeds
Emotionally on guard.
All lowest forms of life
Are pounding you inside
Your hollow cold display
Your tired masquerade
Let the image that you present entice
Unlike the mirror that shows the strains of vice
This act of contact your decay
While willing souls will more that pay.
Your jaded eyes can't see
Embarrassment or harm
The frail skin that bleeds
Emotionally on guard.
All lowest forms of life
Are pounding you inside
Your hollow cold display
Your tired masquerade
