Far From Paradise

It is so barren here
And the trees scratch at the sky
This winter atmosphere
A landscape encased in stone and ice
The terrain yields little hope
But deep within my heart I know
Such terrain yields little hope
But deep within our hearts we know

We are so far from paradise
Where longing tears at tender hearts just like a vulture
We are so far from paradise
Exiled to a land where love is fleeting glances at the future

I reach out just to touch
This creature from my wildest dreams
But the apparition dissipates
And sorrow fills me once again
But I believe the sun exists
Even when it is eclipsed

We are so far from paradise
Where passions tear at tender hearts just like a vulture
We are so far from paradise
Exiled to a land where love is fleeting glances at the future

My dreams and my longings
Are all I cradle here tonight
But wisdom speaks to me
Of beings birthed of hope and light
And one day we will get it right
And one day we will get it right

It is so barren here
And the trees scratch at the sky
This winter atmosphere
A landscape encased in stone and ice
The terrain yields such little hope
But deep within our hearts we know
The terrain yields little hope
But deep within my heart I know

We are so far from paradise
Where longing tears at tender hearts just like a vulture
We are so far from paradise
Exiled to a land where love is fleeting glances at the future

At the future
At the future
Future
Future
