Burning Paradise (Lyrics)

Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge

Verse 1:

Thunders in the sky are roaring exploding all inside your chest
Your whole life's reduced to a single moment shining on stage.

Prechorus:

Then you feel alive as never before
All you'll need is more.

Verse 2:

Pleasure fills your body with emotions you thought you had lost.
There is only ecstasi when you become one with your song.

Prechorus:

Then you feel alive as never before.
The crowd is going wild!

Chorus:

Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!

Verse 3:

Playing under spotlights it feels like you're fighting for your life.
Trying to leave behind your inner demons that won't let you be.

Prechorus:

But you can't
Still you're burning up on stage
hoping they will go!

Verse 4:

Trying to make your final stand you find yourself alone again.
Armed with a guitar the power's flowing into your hands.

Pre chorus:

It's too much!
It will never be enough!
You fall on your knees!

Chorus:

Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!

SOLO

Verse 5:

Voices everywhere are calling telling you your dream is over.
Personal utopias never made it so far anyway.

Prechorus:

But you know the show must always go on.
Will your torment end?

Chorus:

Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!

Feel the stage on fire!
