Almost Paradise

Текст песни Mike Reno & Ann Wilson - Almost Paradise

[Intro]
I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star
Pulsating light to comfort me
But, oh, it seems so far

So, as I stand, I realize
I wish that I'll be there
About to give up all my life
And vanish in thin air

But I know, as I dream
All the world has passed me by
And I know I should do better
For you and me tonight

[Hook]
I'm coming home, yeah!
I'm coming...

[Verse 1]
There were stars in the eyes
At the masquerade
And the king was lost
In the grand illusion
Well, the day has come
They've lost the way
And the joker laughs
At the mass confusion
They stand and stare
[Bridge]
Now, listen, all you people
This is what I say:
Raise my voice in anger
I'm trying to get away
...From all

Now, listen, what you're doing
Is just not good at all
The silly games you're playing
Are raising up the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Time goes by, the world we love
Is gone... forever

[Chorus 1]
Are we ever gonna change our way?
Will we ever stop the fury?
Is it life or will we just decay?
Will we lose or stand in glory?
Insurrection—God election
Heavy changes make my day
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way
[Post-Chorus]
Insurrection, insurrection

[Verse 2]
Masses will be rising
Marching forces neutralizing
All the powers in the world
With raging fury
Enemies are falling down
Their blood is spilled on holy ground
The end is near for maximizing profits

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we have to fight? Why?
Close your eyes and die

[Chorus 2]
Are we ever gonna change our way?
Will we ever stop the fury?
Is it life or will we just decay?
Will we lose or stand in glory?
Insurrection—God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way
[Post-Chorus]
Insurrection

[Solo: Kai]

[Bridge]
The king of damnation
Learned from the old
The harvest of fury, whoa
Love is the answer, blood is the oath
Red are the canyons, oh

Friend or foe, we have been trying
Queens and kings, all have been lying
All the same, all devastating
All I see when contemplating hope

[Solo: Henjo / Both / Kai / Both]

[Verse 3]
Here I stand alone
And I have lost the way
The eyes of a believer, turning to stone
Silent, no more tears
The emptiness is mine
Only rain is falling, dripping on the trail

Father of the Earth, I am calling you
Dry your tears away and give me hope
Fill my heart with strength
And give power to my soul
Let magic fill the sky and take me home
Singing....
Ooh, let me go!

[Solo: Kai]

[Chorus 2]
Are we ever gonna change our way?
Will we ever stop the fury?
Is it life or will we just decay?
We must fight to stand in glory
Insurrection—God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

[Outro]
I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star....
