Paradise Is Lost

We’re falling stars from the sky Leaving the heavens, leaving the light There’s no place for us now Closing my eyes Wishing that I could turn back somehow Far outside of the gates Where the emptiness waits Nothing left here lose Gone in the flames Feeling the weight, the weight of it all We built an empire we thought was never ending We tried to stop the fire but now there’s no pretending Beauty to dust Paradise is lost, paradise is lost Is the blood on my hands? Am I to blame? I don’t understand In one breath it was gone Gold were the days That we laid to waste in this burning sun We built an empire we thought was never ending We tried to stop the fire but now there’s no pretending Beauty to dust Paradise is lost, paradise is lost We built an empire we thought was never ending We tried to stop the fire but now there’s no pretending Beauty to dust Paradise is lost, paradise is lost Paradise is lost Paradise is lost Paradise is lost We built an empire we thought was never ending We tried to stop the fire but now there’s no pretending Beauty to dust Paradise is lost, paradise is lost Paradise is lost Paradise is lost
