about

I wrote this on a Greek island. Visually it was paradise but emotionally void.
The impending doom of the Greek economy and subsequent mood of the Greeks was evident. My father has passed away only a few months before and I needed to get away. I thought Paradise would make the pain go away. Europe has a history of fascism and it's economic well-being is intrinsically tied up with it's happiness and in/tolerance. I felt the atmosphere was the sapling for 3rd World War - Paradise Lost.

lyrics

PARADISE LOST

Intro: 4 beats on drums

Verse * 2: Chloe and girls and strings + solo guitar

Verse 1
Oh the time has come
The gods have
come out to play

Verse 2
Oh the war is won
We have lost
We have flayed

Verse 3
The life that we once knew
Will be dust
And blown away

Chorus * 2
Oh out there
Paradise is lost
Waves keep crashing at your door
3rd world war coming that's for sure

Verse 4
Oh all has gone
In fire (echo)
We are lost

Verse 5
Oh our time is up (go octave up)
All is dead
No stars to see

Verse 6
The love we once knew (higher octave)
Will be dust
And blown away

Chorus *2
Oh out there
Paradise is lost
Waves keep crashing at your door
3rd world war coming that's for sure

Verse 7 + 8 + 9 + segway
Guitar solo (chloe + girls chorusing)

Verse 10 + 11+ 12
Chloe(alto, mezzo, soprano) and girls and strings + solo guitar
