Burned-Down Paradise

On that day
The light of the morning was calm and bright
Like after a rainy night
We could hear the city waky waky

On that day
With everything we had
Packed in only one case
There's no way back now
On that day that we left our hometown

Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
They burned down paradise to ashes
Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
To dust

On that day
In spite of everything we left behind
Your eyes became shining bright
We could feel our bodies quaking shaking

On that day
When The Holy One, blessed be He
Hid beneath black clouds
There's no way back now
On that day that we left our hometown

Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
They burned down paradise to ashes
Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
To dust

They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
The sky was crying lightning
The water of the sea was on fire

They burned down paradise
I can still see the sparks in your eyes

Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes
They burned down paradise to ashes
Let's head for the ocean
They burned down paradise
In front of our eyes to dust
