Madd Maxxx - Trapped In Paradise lyrics

rate me

swoop through the clouds in the light of the moon

Watching the people all around the world trynna move

Trying to do anything to improve the situation they're given

Some of them win but a lot of them lose

Somebody once said life is cruel and that's true

The world is a dangerous place to pass through

A very long time I've resided in the sky

Always knew how and always asked why, I never died

I never lived I exist and I have since

Since all of this shit was a shapeless mist

In an instant the universe blinked into existence

Of this humble beginning there was placed no limit

We would watch we would listen

We would visit the men and the women

And give them visions of a righteous living

That was it, we could never retain a greater purpose

Forever hearing the prayers come off Earth's surface

I never had a choice and I never had a life

I spent all of existence trapped in paradise

I never felt pain but I witnessed it all

Wars raged on, kingdoms rise and fall

Ever since the humans could speak to eachother

They would try to convert or destroy their brothers

I never knew of religion I never knew of race

I knew only to serve my purpose as an angel of faith

I follow the stars as they pass over the planet

Looking over this tragic land and its' inhabitants

They called to us for power, for solace and compassion

Trying to find peace and happiness everlasting

The words change but the prayers are the same

Speaking to the same maker, rearranging his name

It's a shame I can only give a whisper of confidence

Spoken into their subconscious so often it's not obvious

["it's not obvious" echoes...]

[... echoes into "Honestly I"]

Honestly I don't understand human affairs

A bird of a different color gets everyone scared

People are dying over nothing, killing innocent children

Setting bombs, shooting missiles and destroying buildings

Worst part of it is, they kill in the name of faith

Hoping to impress their maker with displays of hate

Why is everybody trying to make it to this place?

I've been here since the beginning and it ain't so great

My fate was predetermined, I was born with this burden

I see only the truth never observing diversions

Whether crosses the turban to tolerate or?

All were born of the same following and origin

God never told people what to believe,

The human race made the names their religions have grieved

But at the least they can choose to ignore what they see

I already know the answer, what does it mean to believe?

It's so very cold so high in the sky

The wind braces my face bringing tears to my bird's eye but why?

When I fly, I hear so many voices at once

Asking for help and to tell what must be done

I chased the sun and saw a way after its' surface

But not before dispersing human versal words from turgid lips

I speak so much at minimal times

Spending eternity and further are invisible lines

Sometimes I like to fly low gliding through the sky slow

Watching life happen and unravel below

If only all of the people knew all the things I know

They would be happy knowing there's somewhere their soul could go
