scarlet's remains-far from paradise

It is so barren here
The trees scratch at the sky
This winter atmosphere
Landscape encased in stone and ice
The terrain yields little hope
But deep within my heart i know

We are so far from Paradise
Where longing tears at tender hearts just like
a vulture
We are so far from Paradise
Exiled to a land where love is fleeting
glances at the future

I reach out just to touch
This creature from my wildest dream
The apparition dissipates
And sorrow fills me once again
But i believe the sun exists
even when it is eclipsed

We are so far from Paradise
Where passions tear at tender hearts just like
a vulture
We are so far from Paradise
Exiled to a land where love is fleeting
glances at the future

My dreams and longing
Are all i cradle here tonight
But wisdom speaks to me
Of beings birthed of hope and light
And some day we will make it right.
