Paradise/the Spell Lyrics - Uriah Heep - Uriah Heep

I feel you trying 

Though in my heart I know you're lying 

And though your love for me is dying, 

I see you crying 

It's the pain of your secret heart 

Bringing you to tears, filling you with fears 

For your mind and for your soul. 

I touch you softly now, 

Born on by hope until the end, somehow. 

I am a man and I must keep my vows, 

I must go on. 

But the wall of your secret heart 

Keeps my distance clear, 

Helps my footsteps fall 

Back in line inside my mind. 

What's the use? You turned me loose 

And left me here to cry. 

Where's the love we talked about? 

Where's my sunny sky? 

Secret hearts and sorry tales 

Will never help love grow, 

Spread your wings my daunted soul, 

The time has come to go. 

I will not be hurried down 

Or blackened by you lies, 

I must go and find my dreams 

And live in paradise. 

What's the use? You turned me loose 

And left me here to cry. 

Where's the love we talked about? 

Where's my sunny sky? 

Secret hearts and sorry tales 

Will never help love grow. 

Spread your wings my daunted soul, 

The time has come to go. 

I will not be hurried down 

Or blackened by you lies. 

I must go and find my dreams 

And live in paradise. 

What's the use? You turned me loose 

And left me here to cry. 

Where's the love we talked about? 

Where's my sunny sky? 

What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming? 

Don't you know I know what it is you're scheming? 

Who did you think gave you the right, 

Hidden by the dead of night, 

To take the world and turn it upside down, 

When it should be round? 

It seems I made it just in time 

To use my reason and my rhyme 

To save us from the evils of your mind. 

I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well. 

I will light a fire, kindled with desire. 

I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here 

And I won't be treated like a fool. 

It's no good you pretending there'll be no happy ending, 

I'm alive and darkness is my tool. 

But when the night is over 

And daytime steals your cover, 

The goodness of the morning sun 

Will warm away what you have done 

And leave you cold. 

I have no need for moonlight, 

You're wrong to trust in sunlight. 

For I exist not just in storms, 

But in life itself, in so many forms 

To leave you cold. 

I will leave you now, but you won't defeat me. 

You had best beware when you come to meet me. 

Love and truth will follow me, 

An army of reality, 

Brought from every corner of the world. 

You will never break the spell. 

I summon all the fires of hell 

And this is my advice for what it's worth 

Let us not begin, this fight we cannot win. 

Be sure you're watching me; 

'Cause all through your life, 

Every day and every night 

You should know that I'll be watching you....
