Long Way to Paradise

Shit I was shooting for the moon and I killed a night bird
The dark skies were splendid now I just see a hole
It's like all you got to forget to really remember
Like you can never really fly if you don't start to fall

Feels like I felt everything
All the gates opened and closed
I loved and I lived but never could do both
Now there's a light on my way but was my dark enough?
I don't know, now I just leave before leaves touch the mud
And it'll take several lives before to set up your stage
Some deaths to ring the bell
But still just someone to take off your disguise
Such a great journey through Hell
Such a long way to Paradise

Some people they enjoy silence
I guess I'm just not one of them
You just get used to difference
You just get lost in their fake sand
All the sounds of Heaven hidden by heavy guitars
The rythms, beats, encores, chorus that take you too far
Far far down
Down to where there are no more stars
Not in your head
Nor in your eyes

I look at you jumping, invisible princess
Fuck let us dream this dream, or at least dance this dance
We know now there's no diamond in every goddamn mine
Felt the hurt of beauty and the strenght of sadness

Don't take my scar, princess
I'll be gone in a while
It's never the ones you wait
But news always arrive
This feeling fills something
It feels good I suppose
But that love is way too soft to get under my skin
Yes I could've been king, yeah that would have been a pose
Cause kingdoms they rise and fall, and I just care about queens

And Hell if God only knows, the Devil he sings!

Feels like I felt everything
All the gates opened and closed
I loved and I lived but never could do both
Now there's a light on my way but was my dark enough?
I don't know, now I just leave because wings just beat clouds
And it'll take several lives before to set up your stage
Some deaths to ring the bell
Until the real love's no longer a surprise
Oh such a great journey through Hell
Such a great journey through Hell
Such a long way to Paradise
