Paradise Lost - Villainy

Your hands are snakes that bite from the apple

People will talk, laugh, then deny it

The only thing that’s left you’ll have to swallow

Our tails are not the only things we chase

All you’re left to hold is paradise

They’ll send you away and then build a fire

Fan off the haze, suppress your desires

The only thing that’s left you’ll have to swallow

Our tails are not the only things we chase

But all you’re left to hold is paradise that you’ve lost

You could change what you believe

And still Pandora sits within the fields of Babylon

You could cling, to what you feel

And yet the pain is caused by what you chose to focus on

Open your mind but keep it free

Our tails are not the only things we chase around

Hold your hands, out to receive

And all you’re left to hold is paradise that you’ve lost

It is paradise that you’ve lost

Oh, paradise that you’ve lost

Paradise that you’ve lost

Paradise, paradise, paradise
