Paradise (What About Us?)

(album: Hydra - 2014)

There's no sense
The fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning

Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our role
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?

All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause

[Chorus:]
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise

You and us
Or I and them
There comes a time
To take a stand
The wheel is watching all that keeps on burning
The venom works
It's like a curse
A Trojan horse
When will we learn
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning

All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause...

[Chorus:]
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for

What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise

What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough?
What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough?
What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough?
What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough!
