Paradise Lost

He who roams the earth in silent awe and dignity
He paints the world in brightest colors on his endless quest for beauty

Dying in the arms of love as he follows his passionate heart

He who rules the earth, the wolf that betrays the lamb
Far too much seems never enough
His insatiable hunger leads to killing hands

Bound to rise and fall, his worst enemy lurks inside

So it will end - Mother Nature lies dying
No shelter from the storm - when the final hour's arriving
We've learned but we've failed - we've built then destroyed
The world that we've known - a huge desert void
Floods of tears in the prophet's eyes
As he foresees: We burn our paradise

The prophet shivers as he remains in the threatening dark
The vision's clear: to hell leads the final path
No mercy will be shed at the point of no return
Endless rain will wash away the ashes of the aftermath

The gathering storms - silence has gone
The thunder rolls - now the end is coming
The waters rage - to erase our stains
Some faithful pray - now the end is coming
The sun turns black - see the blood red moon
The earth will shake - prophecy fulfilling
What will remain - when paradise is lost?
Regrets won't help - prophecy fulfilling

Portae - inferi - recludo - grandis
Homines - perditus - aeternum - denum
Portae - inferi - recludo - grandis
Homines - perditus - aeternum - denum

So it will end - Mother Nature lies dying
No shelter from the storm - when the final hour's arriving
We've learned but we've failed - we've built then destroyed
The world that we've known - a huge desert void
Floods of tears in the prophet's eyes
As he foresees: We burn our paradise
Floods of tears in the prophet's eyes
As he foresees: We burn our paradise
