Snake Eyes Lyrics - Patent Pending

A tale of passion 

that ends in misery 

a tale of sex and sin and greed 

I'm in this prison of my own insanity 

and there's no one i can blame but me 

Tossed between the wreckage 

and washed up on the shore 

I swear i can't beleive my eyes 

Could i be mistaken 

am i really here 

have i found my paradise 

the streets are paved in diamond 

the wall are painted gold 

and everybody knows my name 

the girls are always gorgeous 

and the drinks are always cold 

i know i'll never be the same 

i swear we'll live forever 

and we'll never have to cry 

because no one here could ever die 

The sun it sets like fire 

stare into your eyes 

I'll never make it out alive 

Turquoise water 

connect me to the shore 

of a land, a life left far behind 

and i've got the memories burning deep inside 

I'll try to black them from my mind 

A land of plenty 

A land made just for me 

Where i can't help but feel at home 

Until a man of darkness 

a story he a told 

of the only treasure i was yet to hold 

i stood before the people 

and demanded more, darkness 

where sinners come to die 

leaving Eden far behind
