A tale of passion

that ends in misery

a tale of sex and sin and greed

I'm in this prison of my own insanity

and there's no one i can blame but me

Tossed between the wreckage

and washed up on the shore

I swear i can't beleive my eyes

Could i be mistaken

am i really here

have i found my paradise

the streets are paved in diamond

the wall are painted gold

and everybody knows my name

the girls are always gorgeous

and the drinks are always cold

i know i'll never be the same

i swear we'll live forever

and we'll never have to cry

because no one here could ever die

The sun it sets like fire

stare into your eyes

I'll never make it out alive

Turquoise water

connect me to the shore

of a land, a life left far behind

and i've got the memories burning deep inside

I'll try to black them from my mind

A land of plenty

A land made just for me

Where i can't help but feel at home

Until a man of darkness

a story he a told

of the only treasure i was yet to hold

i stood before the people

and demanded more, darkness

where sinners come to die

leaving Eden far behind
