Paradise (What About Us?) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
There's no sense, the fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning
Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our roll
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?
[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel]
All in all, you'd expect the wise to be wiser, fallen from grace and
All and all I guess we should've known better 'cause
[Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
What about us? Isn't it enough?
No, we're not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want, and it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise
[Verse 2: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
You and us, or I and them
There comes a time to take a stand
The wheel is watching all, it keeps on burning
The venom works, it's like a curse
A Trojan horse, when will we learn?
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning
[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel]
All in all, you'd expect the wise to be wiser, fallen from grace and
All and all I guess we should've known better 'cause
[Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
What about us? Isn't it enough?
No, we're not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want, and it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise
[Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
What about us? Isn't it enough?
No, we're not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want, and it's all that we're fighting for
What about us? Isn't it enough?
No, we're not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want, and it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise
[Outro: Sharon den Adel & Tarja]
What about us? What about us?
What about us? Isn't it enough?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? Isn't it enough?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? Isn't it enough?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? Isn't it enough?

Den Adel:
When we had written the first version of ‘Paradise’ and listened back to the demo we’d recorded and the epic power of the song, we thought of Tarja instantly. How well this track would fit her classical voice and how extra special it would be if we sang it together. The more we thought ab...
