LYIRCS
Drifting through loss
We escape from the cost of the pain
The healing through years
So obscured by the tears, and the strain
But this one-way street you‘re on
You‘ll never be fulfilled
And this one-way street you‘re on
Is gonna get you killed
Healing. The lost,
so delusional hollow and vague
Ascending through fear
as emotionless dreams of the grave
But this one-way street you‘re on
You‘ll never be fulfilled
And this one-way street you‘re on
Is gonna get you killed
Onto a higher ground, a youthful lie,
no warning, death
Hiding is truth in all us
Another fired down, do or die it‘s just despair
Hiding the truth in all us
God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill
God asks not
Godless sworn to kill, Godless sworn to kill
God asks not
With inner peace gone, you pray
All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay
With inner peace gone you‘ve paid
All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay
Godless sworn to kill. Annihilation
Godless sworn to kill. Annihilation
God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill
God asks not
Godless born to kill, Godless born to kill
God asks not

Meeee
I am so overwhelmed!!!!
Paradise Lost is truly one of the greatest metal bands of all times. Just a bunch of blokes from Yorkshire who created a whole new genre, no lineup changes (apart from drummers) for almost 35 years, no scandals, drama or drug abuse. Never sold out, and actually took the risk of alienating their fanbase several times by exploring completely new directions. Consistently putting out new material, and playing impeccable live shows, and staying humble all the while. Mad respect, lads.
actually, mad respect to you too lad for recognising talent and legacy
Oh they had drama. I have their biography haha can't blame them though. They were a very hard working bunch.
Amen
Llll
Agreed on most parts but live they are lacking. Saw them couple of time in last 25 years and it was meh at best. They just dont have the energy.
Epic, cold, distant, melancholic, mystical, dark. Highly intelligent people who are still able to make good music.
Thanks, Jah
Fucking Masterpeace
who, where?
Prawda 🤘
Beut
I listen to this everday .
❤
Paradise Lost is one of the best bands ever.
I’ve got them tattoed on my shoulder, and saw them live in Bs As, i can rest in peace!
Indeed
I love them but they can be a little hit and miss but when they are good oh yes
Agreed. They sound more metal now then in 1990's!
They are hit and miss for me too at times but their best material is truly classic! I prefer MDB, though, and Anathema before they left Metal
Instant classic. Seriously, probably one of their best songs of the last decade.
all the songs from the new album have been instant favs, cannot wait for album to drop. preordered the LP
This whole album is like a mix of everything else they've done, with all of the fat trimmed. So impressed!
Technically this is their first song of the decade, as the 2020's are only 4.5 months old. 😛😜😝
One of the best, but not necessarily the best! There are many contenders!!! You gotta luv their depth and way of tapping into your soul! That's all that really matters....
Last decade?
Greg Mackintosh is definitely one of the most underrated guitarists in metal. Sure, he may not play some crazy fast-shredding solos with 100 notes per second, but his guitar playing is just magic from a different world. This is what I call a true guitar genius. I don't care about people who play super fast, but soulless and shity melodies. Just go to 4:19... geez...
je ne te comprend pas !
The truth is, it is not how fast you are, it is the way play it and yes i would agree he is a good guitarist.
Also Nick Holmes is a good vocalist, in his own right.
He definitely has his style and a very unique sound signature.
He is an amazing guitar player and also a genius composer of melodies...his melodies can send you to those places that some people don't like to go.
This song is feed for sad and dark souls...Masterpiece
Dark souls will Never get back into the light... in the early 90‘s its dark like now... Soulsickness
So true.
@@antonjesus1013 Praise the Sun!
@Christopher Cressey that's kind of a bit extreme to think about the PL members.

Life sucks constantly, there's no let up. Paradise lost helps ease me through it.
How can Paradise Lost create such a masterpiece after so many years on the road? My absolute respect for this band
Absolutely right!
the road causes so much pain sometimes it makes it easier to write, sometimes it just makes us numb
OBSIDIAN is a perfect mix of all the albums of PARADISE LOST...greetings from Greece!!!!!!!

No other way

I'm a invisible man. Don't see Paradise lost - don't click :-))
Indeed my friend💀
This is one of them songs that literally touches your soul. This is what music is meant to do ,holy shit this is a masterpiece!
Cannot agree more
The best opening track, since "Enchantment"...from draconian times!!!...paradise lost forever!
Draconian times is my fav one, but, as an opener, Darker Thoughts wins.
Yes , is it
@Stepanov Rock Fearless was great, but this is better
Solitary One
As Horizons End is pretty awesome album opener if you ask me.
Vocals and beard are on point
I have to disagree for the beard; the one he had during The Plague Within was much more appealing for their last 3 albums. It gives such a feel of despair and hopelessness
I remember the summer of 91. We were on a school trip to Berlin. The Wall had almost completely come down. While all the other kids went off to the Techno Clubs , I was digging through crates with Metal Vinyl and stumbled upon the gem that "Gothic" was. "Shattered" "Gothic" and "The Painless" absolutely blew me away. I had never heard stuff like this before. I couldn't wait to get back home and listen to this album again and again and again. I followed their career all these years, even though after "Icon" they lost me a bit. Now , even though, I only know 3 songs of the new album at the moment, I get this special PL feeling again. Thank you
Thank you.
that's funny, a couple of weeks ago I posted something very similar in the Facebook PL group (Summer 1992 Gothic first song, etc)
M Giovanni can you link that , I’d like to read it
Great story. I personally love Techno AND heavy metal. But different strokes for different folks.
Nice.. but you missed Draconian times, which in another perspective in present I'm sure you'll love.
1:46 so good... you know it's coming, but it still hits you right in the heart every single time
This song is more therapeutic then a visit to my psychiatrist!
Haha Amen! I love the dichotomy between light and dark, clean vocals during the mellow part and growls during the aggressive one. Kind of like the internal battle between good and evil, for lack of a better comparison. That's how I've interpreted this song for myself. Can't stop listening to it
@@88omair Yeah exactly my opinion too
@@88omair Well written! It made my frozen heart feel again. Sadnes, euforia, peace, restlesness. Opposite feelings at the very same second.
absolutely....shrinks only think about fortune in the first place
@@mahoelihaai Paradise Lost have been cleansing my soul for 23 years now.
This kind of song made me fall in love with paradise lost 30 years ago.
Reminds you of rotting misery??? ,,😂🤣
Another song I'm going to overplay for the rest of my life and never get tired of!
One of the best PL Songs EVER....in repeat...MASTERPIECE...no ladies....one of the best songs ever written....
This is a masterpiece of a song. 30+ years and they are still producing music of this quality. Can't wait to see them live again this weekend.
A new classic for Paradise Lost. One of the best opener ever. 🤘🤘
Can't match fearless sky though!
@@sajalsoni5605 This song is way better than Fearless Sky
Up there with As horizons end for me
Greg is like the David Gilmour of the gothic metal genre!
Exactly my thoughts! 😅👍
My favourite METAL band of all time. Greetings from Georgia! 👊🇬🇪
Обалденная услада для ушей. Никогда не перестану их любить
Historically, there are few bands in the whole earth that they never fail its audience like 10+ albums and 30+ years. Paradise Lost is captain of them.
“Without music, life would be a mistake” ― Friedrich Nietzsche. Congratulation! If you listen to this music with your ears, of course it is hard to listen, but if you listen with your heart, then it is Great! Good Luck!
Yeah! Excellent, bro. You wrote what I was thinking
I am happy that you agree with me. Thanks
This was really well-put!
Aysel Gurbanli Thanks ☺️
@@lifeisgreat9826 You can use
What a masterpiece!!!! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Never stop listenig. Greg Is not a musican but a wizard!
Paradise lost never disappoints! Legends
The new album is well crafted . A combination of harmonies mixed with melancholy / doom / despair and elegance. They have mixed their early works with the recent ones . Instant hit to the nerves . Well done guys \m/
lol but there recent ones sound like their early ones.
@@MephProduction Not entirely. Medusa had far different production than their early material. Obsidian and The Plague Within both have more overtly gothic tones than, say, Lost Paradise and Shades of God
One of the best opening tracks to an album PL have ever done.
this is absolutely THE song of 2020 so far. as good as they ever have been in my opinion, Obsidian is a superb album.
You should chech My dying bride - Your Broken shore, its pretty amazing too!
Yup, song of the year for me too.
Make it 2021 as well. A masterpiece with so many layers and nuances!
A lot of fans and music critics don't appreciate the "Host and Believe in Nothing" era but this album has a lot to do with them, the beginning of this song can perfectly fit in the Host album while the bass feels like it was taking out off the BIN album. The whole Obsidian album has a lot to do with (Draconian Times, Host, BIN, PL 2005, etc). This album is amazing and even if you don't understand the transition of the band throughout that mentioned ERA the end result is this.
Agreed, it's like all my favorite PL albums resulted in one, I can see elements from each past album here! And it's very well done, Obsidian is already in my top 3. A truly masterpiece.
I listened to PL alot in the early 90’s. Ever since I Saw “As I Die” on MTV. I was one of those that stopped listening (still supporting though) when Host came out, and the concerts wasnt really the same, being a sucker for Dark, doom and death, I kind of moved on. After the plague within was released, i was hooked back on them. The shows are more awesome than ever
I thought of that era while listening 'Hope Dies Young', just to say an example. I love each and every one of the styles that Paradise Lost has brought to our ears. This track is a fucking masterpiece!
Every song released on Obsidian is a monster. How can one song be better than the next? Hail PL🔥🤘💪
@Wulfnod Saxon can't stop listening to it. The chorus is one of the best I've heard this year. Wish they had a double chorus before the solo
Paradise Lost blows everything away... True masters of melodic darkness. Craftsmen...
It is over than 25 years I'm listening this band. Invariably delighted.
Many people think when you mention metal of any genre they quickly stamp it out, my obsession is with death metal, but for years I've been lost with paradise lost, the calming affect they put over me is like when you lose a loved one and miss them so much you hear this, and it makes you close your eyes and float away and at that moment you are truly comfortable with death, and life...this is paradise lost.
Absolutely spot on
Whenever you think that there's no hope in sight for metal Paradise Lost comes out with a new album. It happened before, it will happen in the future, it's happening now. OBSIDIAN IS MONUMENTAL
Fates Warning, Pain of Salvation, Evergrey, all releasing albums this year. Can't wait \m/
I can't stop listening to this. Just discovered it yesterday and I'm at 50 times, and counting
Better late than never brother!
I haven't listened to Paradise Lost in quite awhile. Always have been a fan esp. early stuff.❤ Glad to see their music is still alive and strong.
It is not that kind of songs that captures by the first hearing. It gets better every time you repeat it. It's something really well done. I hope I can see your live show someday
@Ryan R. There's no more Vallenfyre, but Greg formed a band named Strigoi, similar to Vallenfyre, but not the same
Paradise lost giving us the album of 2020 in plate.Dark mature and heavy af.
Be sure to check out Fates Warning's new album that just came out. Another AOTY contender (its definitely mine :-] )
The only thing I hate about this song is that it ends :(
Set it to loop ;)
The best song from Obsidian...masterpiece of art 🎧
One of my the most favorite bands of all time is completely back! One of my all time guitar heroes - Greg Mackintosh, makes his guitar cry again! Long live Paradise Lost!
Ghosts, Serenity, Darker Thoughts and Ravenghast !!
And Hear the Night!
"Defiler" is also great, one of the best on the new album
Nick is most underrated singer in hard and heavy music..
His the best.
for me as a singer, is one of my two geat inspirations, in all his years and in all the stules from PL. He have a wonderful, sweet, agresive, clean, growl and precious voice, is a very big pitty that he be so underrated, but for all of us that know about he, we know that is one of the best singers, and PL for me one of the greastest bands :)
He fits death doom way better than bloodbath. I think he has a doom metal voice more than DM.
Best album of 2020. Paradise Lost isn't lost.
MASTERPIECE!! 🤘🔊 Can't wait to hear this live in Greece!⏳🇬🇷
The countdown already began for me!!!
So my life is difficult, because this song is spectacular the balance of this track, for me one of the best albums of 2020 so far !!
Obsidian and City Burials from Katatonia have saved this wicked year.
@@camibuzzo and the new my dying bride,
The dark melancholy drips off it.
Some of their albums are, of course, better than others, but PL never disappointed. I love Host and Draconian Times but different loves. Can listen to them in silence or in transport, when i'm happy or sad. This is the best band. Greetings from Russia.
I still think that Host is the best album that Depeche Mode never made.
it’s just becoming impossible for Paradise Lost not to do something innovative and unique and yet so familiar. This song is classic already. This song is spectacular and Whole Obsidian is absolutely stunning with writing and performance. Not sure if I should say that they have outdone themselves It’s just in their nature to be always better. Once again, Thank You Nick, thank you Greg, Thank you Aaron and Thank you Steve. Oh and The drummer is a fine champ as well.
They never cease to amaze me. When I think that I have already heard everything from them, they surprise with something new again. Amazing vocals with the accompaniment of guitars, as well as an indisputable atmosphere, which many bands are missing. I can't count how many songs have those guys delievered and how many are repeated on my headphones. Thank You, PL. Can't wait to see You again.
I listen to them since 1995. They aged well.
One of the most soul shaking songs of the band for sure. So powerful and purely dark.
First time I saw them was in 1990 with Lost Paradise, since then always follow them! Every album is different......emotionaly deepness!!!!

A carefully layered piece of Metal cake that comes with dark creamy textures and a sweet guitar solo on top. Serve this on your local station! \m/
Succinctly put
I'm just rediscovering Paradise lost , good song and love the sound they've certainly master a melancholic metal that no one else is doing .
Totally missed this release when it dropped. My lady pointed this song out to me. Both of us can’t stop listening to it now
Saw this song live today in Warsaw. Masterpiece! I lost my voice. Nick you woke up all kids in the blockhouse nearby you bad man! :) I don't understand all that rumor that Nick lost his voice. Today he made the trick thats for sure. Great concert. Long live Paradise lost!
Greg will never stop writing sick melodies/riffs. He is the best guitarist in the genre
I didn't expect another music video from the album! Love the scenery. Definitely the most unique album opener they've ever written. I get the slightest hint of country vibes in the intro and Nick's vocals have never sounded more gentle. And I love it when Greg rips out into solos like that. What a great song.
PL in their purest form, all of them is here in one and throughout the album.
This song is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a while. Pure gem.
I am honestly at loss for words. The emotions it can bring despite me having depression is something so special for me. Thank you PL ❤
Depressed people don't mention their depression left and right. Only emo kids seeking attention. Please stop making a joke of a serious illness.
@@ak-8585 quite bold of you to assume any class's instances all share the same attribute values. It's down to each person, and I myself get pretty triggered when random teens say they're depressed without any diagnosis because it's just cool nowadays. But here's the catch: I _am_ diagnosed of it and other stuff
@@Speed4Runs No it's not cool. Depression has never been cool. Only goths and emos think it's cool. And even they -sometimes- have the self consience to see how pretentious they become just to hit on the "metal" girl with the big boobs and the black lipstick. So please, spare me the details of your "condition" mate.
@@ak-8585 oh no, you can clearly perceive how "cool" being a fake depressed person is nowadays. It's a trend. Maybe it's because "sadness" is mistaken with "depression", but "I wanna die" is still a recurring sentence from people who actually _don't_ wanna die. For sure, depression itself is not cool, considering it completely ruined my life. But that doesn't mean that many people fake it just to get some more likes. Now, instead of accusing me of not being depressed, please consider that 1) some depressed people *do* joke about depression and 2) I was being totally serious, this time. You don't even have any idea of how much amitriptyline ('cos sertraline is like water for me) my body takes every day, and yet you're just assuming stuff by generalizing. I really appreciate the fact that you see it as a disorder and not a simple "have a walk", but I may also suggest you to both learn boolean logic and think before speaking, 'cause you know, the human brain isn't a predictable LTI system.
@@Speed4Runs medication is probably unhealthy and would keep you depressed forever, but ups i am not a doctor so nevermind what i just wrote, they kill my grandma the other day with some fluoxetine they gave her, but they can write down something else killed her and thats what they did... try something like the carnivore diet, who knows, it may help
A crown above. And a sentence below: Keep calm and listen to Obsidian.
One of the darkest openings you will ever hear and yet so immensely beautiful!
I love how his identity is completely different to what you hear in his work with Bloodbath. Very talented vocalist. Great song
Chills. That's all I have to say.
What a freaking masterpiece

What a song, I'm speechless.....
This song (and album) got me through so much during the COVID lockdown years. Thank you, Paradise Lost.
I must confess: I m not a huge fan of the band but I became a metal head not because of Metallica etc, I heard a local record store in İstanbul playing their song ICON, it was very catchy then I went inside n ask for their cassette. (94) That was my very first album that I bought at age 14. Great to see they still around. Greetings from Istanbul Paradise Lost!
meeeeeeeeee
This is the evolution of paradise lost from the beginning to this day's. I have discovered p d with icon and enchantment so brilliant so beautiful
Such a great honour to interview Nick Holmes on the latest album. Possibly the best imo. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
It's just sound like a masterpiece and this voice, so deep
I just came across this album on the google play store. I don't seek out or purchase new music often. This is my first time hearing paradise lost. I'm purchasing the album and going to go for a drive, listening to it loud. I'm a new fan.
Ahh yes, the goosebumps and shivers down my spine are back.
Yeah this song is a good test to check if the nervous system is in working order :D
The whole Album is a Beast! Congrats guys to the Release. 🤟🏻
