I am finally here in paradise

Where everything is beautiful and bright

I have left the sickness of the world behind

And I have found serenity in this secret heaven

For to promise me this tomorrow

I would kill you today

Every moment in life has led me to this

All that I am means nothing now that I am free

For my cage is made of alabaster and gold

And my reward is lifeless silence

In exchange for a lifetime of affliction

At rest in the heights of the world

And the world is below

At rest in the heights that overlook the world,

and the world is below

I say a quiet prayer of gratitude

And like the truly saved, my vacant words fall into the sky

And their echo reminds me that I am truly alone
