Fools Paradise

today I sought a peace between two worlds one distant the other near for I shed a single tear to numb the inner pain not having her in my arms was driving me insane but she was a fool settling for the delights of this world more then the favor of God that was her choice so filled with remorse she dances in a ring of fire yet throws off its challenge with a shrug you may want to sweep all of this underneath the rug still deep inside me there is a glow for a far off place I wish to go up with God in heaven above with his love left valiant in flight I'll pray for this tonight now it's at the hour of power a force of reason of full desire want to take you much higher digging deeper then ever before lest I implore another opened door to exit stage left fools paradise will make you think twice another chance at which to roll the dice we left our ego there in the world so fair but were living in the land of mean where people scream having long viscous fangs that fright dripping blood off side we all want to run away and hide but to what ?
