The Enemy Lyrics by Paradise Lost

In Requiem

2007

[Verse 1]
Why can't you say sorrow?
Why can't you say, think I believe?
Thou must not steal borrow
Why must you steal things I receive?
Why can't you say sorrow?
Why can't you say, think I believe?
Why must you steal, borrow?
Always conceal, cling to belief

[Verse 2]
Damaged this way, hollowed
Living the lie that you can't take
Damaged maintained solemn
Living for rules you only break
How can you say?

[Chorus]
The enemy is thrown into the sadness
For the enemy there's only pain and sadness, then death

[Bridge]
How can you say sorrow?

[Chorus]
The enemy is thrown into the sadness
For the enemy there's only pain and sadness, then death
