Paradise
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
Repeat Chorus:
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
Repeat Chorus:
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
Repeat Chorus:
We recommend: Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Evil blood runs in our veins
Sacrifice, we have to kill the bastard son
We'll give our lives, Belial reigns
chorus: Sent to defile
Master of agony
Sent to defile
Shattered gods, the only way
Blasphemy, the only way
Angels rise, they try to take away the light
Escape, on Judgement Day
chorus
From Belial
Desecration, trapped in isolation
Leave this land of terror
Where the sacred poisoned blood flows
Undead feelings, share the hatred within
Burn remains of the past
Leave the crimes of passion b
