Like drowning in a bog
Or smothered by the fog
On mountains of mist I tread
Clinging bitter taste
Buried amongst the waste
Dancing with the living dead
Forget about hope and love
Or of heaven up above
Nightmares live behind my eyes
Pray for no return
Hell at every turn
Memories disappear into the sky
So damn bitter and so sweet
Dark paradise lies at my feet
Urge and passion rages on
Chase the dragon into the dawn
Addicted to the roiling smoke
Afflicted by the burn
On which I choke
Deep in my dying soul
Things seem all aglow
Tripping along the outer void
No way back
This winding track
And all that I destroy
Broken down inside
But soaring oh so high
Things that matter start to fade
Far away I shove
All that I love
Warped life that I have made
So damn bitter and so sweet
Dark paradise lies at my feet
Urge and passion rages on
Chase the dragon into the dawn
Addicted to the roiling smoke
Afflicted by the burn
On which I choke
The hypnotic fruit hangs so ripe
Slow drag upon the pipe
The world turning gray
As the smoke carries me away
So damn bitter and so sweet
Dark paradise lies at my feet
Addicted to the roiling smoke
Afflicted by the burn
On which I choke
Afflicted by the burn
On which I choke
On which I choke
