Retribution

Look in my eyes tell me you're innocent But realise that I won't listen to you Put hand on heart say you're no dissident But from the start I've been suspicious of you Know that I am watching I see your every move Know that I am watching Everything you do Say what you like it's just more evidence Your alibi won't save you this time You're torn apart but you're not penitent So cross your heart and we can both hope you'll die Know that I am listening To every word you say Know that I am listening You can't get away You have been disavowed You're under suspicion It is all over now You're under suspicion Look in my eyes protest your innocence But it's all lies and I see right through You play the saint but you are villainous I see the taint of red all over your hands Know that I am watching There's nothing I don't see Know that I am watching You can't hide from me You have been disavowed You're under suspicion It is all over now You're under suspicion Raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth Then take the stand and lie You have been disavowed You're under suspicion It is all over now You're under suspicion

I stand alone by the water Looking to the distant shore The land where the streets are paved with gold Everything that I've wanted Mine after just one more step Freedom to live and riches untold I can never go back home I left that life behind me With just the clothes on my back And the hope my family can find me This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise I stand alone by the water Waiting fo the boat to come To carry me away from this place Waiting for a modern day Charon To show me a life after this Or take my money and desert me I can never go back home A new path lies before me Across the River Styx and stones May break my bones or drown me This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far And the final step's so hard Hell on the edge of Paradise We'll answer the call And we'll risk it all For a shot at paradise

It never rains but it snows It's always cold when your are eyes like ice I'm frozen out and left alone Somehow it falls to me to pay the price Tell me why must I be Your sacrifice? Nothing is going like I planned Everything's slipping through my hands Flowing away like grains of sand The pain is more than I— can stand My defences have been breached Suddenly all my dreams are out of reach I never sleep any more My world is shattered and my dreams are gone I never will be like before Where do you turn when hope itself's withdrawn? Where can I turn in this Forsaken land? Nothing is going like I planned Everything's slipping through my hands Flowing away like grains of sand The pain is more than I— can stand My defences have been breached Suddenly all my dreams are out of reach

Please don't tap the glass as it may scare the animals Please don't walk around thinking you're infallible Here we have an invasive species Unapologetic and rude Its claws are out: its fangs are bared Trying to draw blood The monster only has one goal To crush the life out of your soul Don't give it air; don't lose control Please don't feed the troll …if it's after midnight Don't listen to what they say and look for insight Often found lurking under bridges Wallowing in mud Unprovoked, it bites and scratches Trying to draw blood The monster only has one goal To crush the life out of your soul Don't give it air; don't lose control Please don't feed the troll I'm sure it wasn't invited But somehow it's here anyway Everyone else is united In their dismay The monster only has one goal To crush the life out of your soul Don't give it air; don't lose control Please don't feed the troll It's brave when hidden by the night But with the coming of the dawn When it's exposed in the daylight It will be turned to stone
