Rifftera - Burning Paradise

It took time to realize
that there's a trouble in paradise
and it was already too late
away from the spotlight
swarming parasites took advantage
naivety sealed our fate

now we wade through blood
now we stumble on corpses in dark

idyll broken
let it soak in
take a step down from the castle in the air
see all the innocent bodies left behind
and bear them in mind

better block the door
reinforce the walls
barricade the windows
we all

powerless beings
feeding overwhelming
endless horror stream
scene by scene
turning more numb and hollow

shock and incredulity
changing to cold apathy
range of care reduces
and then another tragedy
just not me nor family
and the ball keeps on rolling

another step towards inhumanity

kingdom broken
stunned and frozen
inverted flag floats over silent streets
we aimed for paradise but ended up in hell
to burning prison cell

better block the door
reinforce the walls
barricade the windows

now we serve paranoia
we bow to the fear
we learned it the hard way
through bloody tears
we stand on the edge of a new frontier
another try to immanentize the eschaton

do not give into fear
burning paradise

powerless beings
feeding overwhelming
endless horror stream
scene by scene
turning more numb and hollow

our paradise burns

powerless beings
feeding overwhelming
endless horror stream
scene by scene
turning more numb and hollow

better block the door
reinforce the walls
barricade the windows
