Serenity Lyrics - Singles - Paradox

[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 

Mysteries, enigmas steeped within its 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 its brief 

Insidious decay 

Nothing stops its 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 history survive, keep industry away 

Warm Summer Nights 

Moonlight on the walls 

Worlds are at peace 

Please, let there be 

Serenity, on the hill 

Serenity, on the hill 

Listen to the massage, a voice from the past 

Heed its 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, now's the time 

Serenity, peace of mind
