about

a song about tolerance and finding the truth within oneself...

lyrics

In the embrace of illusion
I have found paradise.
She lulls me with a vision
of what a soul could be…
The mind is set alight
by a single spark
and the body follows willingly.
Paradise, like God,
is what you want her to be.

In the chaos of confusion
you will find paradise.
Here, in the realm without reason,
life itself will suffice,
for no truth outweighs another
once you learn to see
that a thought often reflects
the mind that set it free.
Paradise, like Truth,
is what you want him to be.

You and I
may live worlds apart,
speak in tongues that can’t relate
and blame our differences on fate;
But to the rain,
all ground is the same,
all rivers flow as one
into the ocean.
All water is just a part
of the greater whole;

The ultimate existence
justifies itself
by simply being.

Paradise, like Existence,
is what You let it be.
