Paradise (What About Us)
Verse 1-1 (clean vocals):
There’s no sense, the fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning
Verse 1-2 (harsh vocals):
Blood-red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our roll
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?
Pre-chorus (clean vocals):
All in all, you expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace and all in all
I guess we should have known bettеr, ‘cause…
Chorus 1 (clean vocals):
(SCREAMS: What about us)
What about us, isn’t it enough?
No, wе're not in paradise
(GRUNTS: This is who we are)
This is who we are, this is what we’ve got
No, it’s not our paradise
(GRUNTS: But it’s all we want)
But it’s all we want, and it’s all that we're fighting for
(SCREAMS: And it’s all that we’re fighting for)
Though it’s not paradise
(SCREAMS: Though it ain't no paradise)
Verse 2-1 (clean vocals):
You and us, or I and them
There comes a time to take a stand
The wheel is watching all, it keeps on burning
Verse 2-2 (harsh vocals):
The venom works, it's like a curse
A Trojan horse, when will we learn?
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning
