Paradise Lost - HANDS OF REASON

I speak of people, whose game is disguise
The myth of flavour appears with no sign

'Cause I see it coming, just like a long lost friend
A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray

Inane the pleasures that leave a sorry state
You're told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait

But wait for tomorrow, and steal some sanity
Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I now fall - Fall into deprivation
Fall - Fallen, there's still tomorrow
Love hides the things you'll never know

A lack of reason that makes a mortal man
Untold the treason, the past where it began

'Cause I see the horror - Horror to think about
Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I see the blood - Blood on the hands of reason
Blood - Bloody the hands that lead me
Love for the ones you cannot know
