Paradise Lost - 'Embers Fire' (2023 Re-recorded)

A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone
You turn a blind eye on what's "brave"
You don't know if it's the truth you told

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

Hold back desire for danger
A bet you lose, you'll have no way to turn
I see a man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call your own

Don't run away, from the pain
A claim that you deal with
A power game, from within
Impossible for you to see this

Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind's eye can you see a light

Harmony breaks, dark awakes
In old eyes, the trouble, feel it
Here to stay, mark the way
Improvise the judgment hearing

Don’t run away, from the pain
A claim that you deal with
A power game, from within
Impossible for you to see this

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones
All remains of the glowing embers
Is a bleak cold irrelevance

Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 1993 κυκλοφορούσε το τέταρτο full length album των Paradise Lost υπό τον τίτλο "Icon". Με αφορμή την συμπλήρωση τριάντα ετών τα τραγούδια του δίσκου επανηχογραφήθηκαν με την τωρινή σύνθεση της μπάντας [Steve Edmondson (μπάσο), Greg Mackintosh (κιθάρα, πλήκτρα), Aaron Aedy (κιθάρα), Nick Holmes (φωνητικά), Guido Zima Montanarini (τύμπανα)] και θα (επανα)κυκλοφορήσει -σε cd, διπλό βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή- την 1η Δεκεμβρίου 2023 ως "Icon 30"...
