[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
