Paradise (What About Us?) Lyrics

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

'cause

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

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

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?

Cover art for Paradise (What About Us?) lyrics by Within Temptation

Best song of Hydra IMO, one of their best songs period.

I think it's about people not being able to have the world as they want, but they need to stand their ground and defend what's theirs even though it's not their "paradise".
