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
