Paradox Serenity Lyrics

(Steinhauer/Blaha)

"A short poem about the Castle that was home
to the lyricists during writing of this album..."

700 years of cold nights it's been there
700 years of power fading away
Mysterys, Enigmas steeped within it's walls
Secret hidden never to be known

Like a massive Guardian
Crouched upon the hill
Windows look like eyes
Ramparts seem like teeth

A view of all around if sightless eyes could see
Industrial Madness encroaching on it's fief

Insidious decay
Nothing stops it's spread

Don't bring down these walls
Don't destroy history
These old stones tell us so much
to fall would be an end to
Serenity
On the hill Serenity
On the hill

See the life on the hills all around
Keep destruction at Bay

Don't surround us with modern things
Let histoty survive, keep industry away

Warm Summer Nights
Moonlight on the walls
Worlds are at peace
let there be
Serenity
On the hill
Serenity
On the hill

Listen to the massage, a voice from the past
Heed it's warning, this monuments won't last

Help to stay the plight
of these ancient walls
now the time to fight
they must not fall

See how they stand
so majestical and free
etched on the skyline
our heritage for free
Serenity
Nows the time
Serenity
Peace of mind
