Paradise (What About Us?)

There’s no sense; the fire burns When wisdom fails, it changes all The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning Blood red skies, I feel so cold No innocence, we play our role The wheel embodies all, where are we going? All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace, all and all I guess We should have known better, ‘cause… What about us, isn’t it enough? No, we’re not in paradise This is who we are; this is what we got No, it’s not our paradise But it’s all we want And it’s all that we’re fighting for Though it’s not paradise You and us, or I and them There comes a time to take a stand The wheel is watching all that keeps on burning The venom works, it’s like a curse A Trojan horse, when will we learn? The wheel embodies all that keeps returning All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace, all and all I guess We should have known better, ‘cause… What about us, isn’t it enough? No, we’re not in paradise This is who we are; this is what we got No, it’s not our paradise But it’s all we want And it’s all that we’re fighting for Though it’s not paradise What about us, what about us? What about us, isn't it enough?

Now darkness has come to the roses The fire is reaching the end The colours that I have created Are suddenly flying away I'm not fighting myself, will not follow 'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate And I'll never bow down from the sorrow I'll face all that is coming my way Denying the devil of silence Embracing the world on the edge Let us burn, let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn, let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn Whoa, we're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn, let us burn, let us burn I'm searching no more for tomorrow I reach for the skies while I can The unknown will always be waiting My last day, I'll jump in its hands I'm not fighting myself, will not follow 'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate And I'll never bow down from the sorrow I'll face all that is coming my way Denying the devil of silence Embracing the world on the edge Let us burn, let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn, let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn Whoa, we're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn, let us burn, let us burn Why, why don't you let me burn? Why don't you count down and break out and let us burn? Oh why, why don't you let me burn? Why don't you let me burn? Why don't you let me burn? Oh why? Erasing the demons in my mind Oh why am I Waiting for change, throwing me to the ground? Now darkness has come to the roses The fire is reaching the end Let us burn, let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn, let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn Whoa, we're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn, let us burn, let us burn

Turn around, open your eyes Can't move on, the fear is tying you down Open your eyes It's all right, oh I'm hellbound in this life, keep fighting this endless war It's always been like this, I don't know why Enslavement of your mind, your fear, it ties me down Going down, I won't bow, no Screaming at the walls of fire, they're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight, it's where I wanna be Screaming at the walls of fire, but I'm still running free In the silver moonlight, I can breathe These days are only now breathing in the coldest lies I think that's only what you have in mind Holding on to the best of you, I hit the pavement Going down, I won't bow down Screaming at the walls of fire, they're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight, it's where I wanna be Screaming at the walls of fire, but I'm still running free In the silver moonlight, I can breathe I'm impatient, but it's colours that I need Too many shades of grey, I cannot breathe The dreams I have ain't tainted, I need you to believe The only way to make them real, oh Screaming at the walls of fire, they're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight, it's where I wanna be Screaming at the walls of fire, but I'm still running free In the silver moonlight, I can breathe Turn around, open your eyes Can't move on, the fear is tying you down Open your eyes It's all right

Wake up in the dead of night Dogs are turning wild Run into what's wrong each time Fail to get it right Fighting off this heavy heart Keeping your head high Oh, won't you please forget Won't you please forget These are the dog days, these are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days, these are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? These are the dog days, these are the dog days Awakened by the dreams at night Chills run down your spine The brightest star in summer skies Brings madness to our minds Fighting off the darkest thoughts Fighting to survive Oh, won't you please forget Won't you please forget These are the dog days, these are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days, these are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days Embracing the highs to fight the lows Running down the path that I think I need to go When you think you've won, you're still losing after all These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days, these are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days, these are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? One, two, three, four, what are you waiting for? These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days, these are the dog days These are the dog days
