[Verse 1]

To struggle on in sweet decay

Or to hunger 'til you're blind

And the ones you love and the ones you hate

Oh, they are never far behind

Oh, but to sacrifice the little girls

To leave their bones behind

'Cause the more you take, well the more you lose

And you will never know peace of mind

[Chorus]

Hard to find paradise

Before it's lost, I will try

To find paradise

Before it's lost, I will try

[Verse 2]

To be the tree that bears the fruit

Oh, to scratch until you bleed

But for all the lies and the broken vows

There was a shallow truth beneath

Oh and the merry pair that lead the wisp

In the cavalcade of peace

And your own kin that now carry you

Will they speak ill of your release?

[Chorus]

Hard to find paradise

Before it's lost, I will try

To find paradise

Before it's lost, I will try
