the glorious end

Paradise Lost

Faithless unrest, only the end we can see
Fading distress all innocence we conceive
Faithless martyrs now at the end
We only pretend we can see
Fading darker now at the end
The death you intended will be
Haze at sunset
On this surrendered frontier
Frayed and unblessed
Only a yearning through tears
Fading numbers
Knowing the chance throws light
On this endless ordeal
Taking from us now at the end
A depth of repentance revealed
Faithless father now at the end pretend I can see
For a glory ascends, surrounds us
For a glory ascends, devours us
For the glorious end
Predatory intent devours us
Pretend I can see
