Paradise Lost Songtext

von Symphony X

In the cold misty morning
Glaring rays awake the dawn
Here I stand, stranger in this land
Does your conscience betray you?
Fallen from grace, feel the sun on my face
Does desire still hold true?

Mystified by her beauty
Does the hunter pity his prey
Under storming skies, our love must die failing

Take my hand
Divine or damned
Make a stand
Seize the day

Oh
You're also damned though divine
Draw the line - come with me

Looking down from the spherical skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all those who say their last goodbye
To paradise

My yearning in silence
By angelic skin of white
Love conquers all, though heavens fall
This fateful night

Oh
You're also damned though divine
Draw the line - serpentine

Love is a tragedy
All that I have - and all that I'll ever need
Is right here inside
Let the winds of freedom
Be my guide

Looking down from the spherical skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all those who say their last goodbye
To paradise

Say goodbye
Goodbye
Oh

So I've cheated - and I've lied
Been the victim of foolish pride
And I've begged - and I've crawled
And I've bellowed and pled for it all
So I'll savor the downfall
Of paradise

Looking down from the spherical skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all those who say their last goodbye
To paradise
