Mortals Watch the Day
Echoes of Despair: Unveiling the Abyss in Paradise Lost's 'Mortals Watch the Day'
Lyrics
Plead forgiveness father
Asking for forgiveness from a paternal figure or God
All my troubles fade from view
Seeking resolution or relief from personal problems
Pale the four walls surround
Feeling confined or restricted within enclosed spaces
Have I madness in my eyes?
Questioning one's sanity or mental state
While mortals watch the day
Humanity observing the passage of time
Our fear will pave the way
Suggesting that fear will guide or shape actions
Hidden until the end
Keeping something hidden until the conclusion or finale
See a room of crimson
Describing a vivid, blood-colored room
Nothing I have seen before
Encountering something entirely unfamiliar
Coldness wrapped around me
Feeling embraced by coldness or an unsettling atmosphere
Struggle not for hell is here
Resignation in facing a deeply distressing situation
While tyrants close the doors
Powerful individuals shutting off opportunities or paths
Each will know the score
Each person will understand the consequences or outcome
Sorrow takes it all
Sadness or grief consumes everything
Saved the sick of life's bliss
Rescuing those suffering from the pleasures of life
Charity of utmost guilt
Feeling guilty for showing kindness or generosity
Fear the blinded temper
Being cautious of uncontrolled anger or rage
It has lied it's way to you
Deception has found its way to someone
While mortals watch the day
Humanity observing the passing of time once more
And light has turned to grey
The brightness of the day has dimmed
What lies up ahead
Unknown future or what is to come
Light shines into your eyes
Intense illumination affecting vision
That I'm blinded by, your eyes
Blinded by the intensity of someone's gaze
Mortal throughout the days
Human existence within the limitations of time
Until we're saved
Continuing as mortals until salvation or deliverance
Turning to black
Transitioning into darkness or despair
I can't see through this
Feeling unable to perceive or comprehend the situation
No option from turning away
No alternative but to confront the situation
We will see another day
Hope for the arrival of a new day
