Paradise lost

In the cold misty morning
gleaming rays awake the dawn
Here I stand - a stranger in this land
does your conscience betray you?
falling from grace -
feel the sun on my face
does desire still hold true?
Mystified by her beauty -
does the hunter pity his prey?
Under starless skies all
Love must die and fade away
Take my hand - divine or damned
Make a stand, seize the day
Yours or mine, damned of divine
Draw the line, come what may...
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
My yearning is silenced by angelic skin of white
Love conquers all for heaven´s fall
this faithful night.
Yours or mine - damned of divine
Draw the line - serpentine...
Love is a tragedy
all that I have, all that I´ll ever need
is right here inside
Let the winds of freedom be my guide
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
Say goodbye, goodbye, hold on!
...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 battled and bled for it all
now I´ll savor the downfall...
of Paradise
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all will say their last goodbye
to Paradise
gleaming rays awake the dawn
Here I stand - a stranger in this land
does your conscience betray you?
falling from grace -
feel the sun on my face
does desire still hold true?
Mystified by her beauty -
does the hunter pity his prey?
Under starless skies all
Love must die and fade away
Take my hand - divine or damned
Make a stand, seize the day
Yours or mine, damned of divine
Draw the line, come what may...
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
My yearning is silenced by angelic skin of white
Love conquers all for heaven´s fall
this faithful night.
Yours or mine - damned of divine
Draw the line - serpentine...
Love is a tragedy
all that I have, all that I´ll ever need
is right here inside
Let the winds of freedom be my guide
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise
Say goodbye, goodbye, hold on!
...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 battled and bled for it all
now I´ll savor the downfall...
of Paradise
Looking down from Ethereal Skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all will say their last goodbye
to Paradise
