Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Cast down from the golden heights
Into the everlasting night
A crown of pride a throne of flame
In pandemoniums black domain
[Pre-Chorus]
He spreads his wings of faded grace
To find the newborn sacred place
Where innocence is bound in clay
And light is chasing dark away
[Chorus]
Oh paradise is lost tonight
The serpent whispers in the light
We tasted knowledge bore the blame
And wrapped our naked souls in shame
[Verse 2]
Beside the tree she stood alone
To hear a voice of velvet tone
He chose her hand he shared the fall
And for her love gave his all
[Pre-Chorus]
The thunder rolls the shadows grow
A broken world of sweat and woe
The judgment falls upon the land
Driven away by holy hand
[Chorus]
Oh paradise is lost tonight
The serpent whispers in the light
We tasted knowledge bore the blame
And wrapped our naked souls in shame
[Guitar and Orchestra Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh paradise is lost tonight
The serpent whispers in the light
We tasted knowledge bore the blame
And wrapped our naked souls in shame
