Paradise / The Spell

I feel you trying

Though in my heart I know you're lying

And though your love for me is dying

I see you crying

It's the pain of your secret heart

Bringing you to tears

Filling you with fears

For your mind and for your soul

I touch you softly now

Borne on by hope until the end somehow

I am a man and I must keep my vow

I must go on

But the wall of your secret heart

Keeps my distance clear

Helps my footsteps fall

Back in line inside my mind

What's the use you turned me loose

And left me here to cry

Where's the love we talked about

Where's my sunny sky

Secret hearts and sorry tales

Will never help love grow

Spread your wings my daunted soul

The time has come to go

I will not be hurried down

Or blackened by your lies

I must go and find my dream

And live in paradise

(Repeat and fade)

What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreamin'?

Don't you know I know what it is you're schemin'?

Who'd ya think gave you the right

Hidden by the dead of night

To take the world and turn it upside down

When it should be round?

It seems I made it just in time

To use my reason and my rhyme

To save us from the evils of your mind

I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well

I will light a fire, kindled with desire

I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here

And I won't be treated like a fool

's no good you pretending, there'll be no happy ending

I'm alive and darkness is my tool

But when the night is over

And daytime steals your cover

The goodness of the morning sun

Will wear away what you have done

And leave you cold

I have no need for moonlight

You're wrong to trust in sunlight

For I exist, not just in storms

But in life itself, in so many forms

To leave you cold

I will leave you now, but you won't defeat me

You had best beware when you come to meet me

Love and truth will follow me

An army of reality

Brought from every corner of the world

You will never break the spell

I summon all the fires of hell

And this is my advice for all it's worth:

Let us not begin

This fight we cannot win

Be sure you're watching me

Cause all through your life

Every day and every night

You should know that I'll be watching you!!
