There's a dragon in the garden where the roses grow
Burning down the weeds and no one goes inside
With fire in his eyes he guards the gates of paradise
There' a princess in a castle built of stone
When darkness descends she can hear her Romeo cry
The castle wall's too high guarding the gates of paradise
Oh paradise
In the shadow of the mission where the church bell rings
They held their inquisition hooded judges with souls to sell
To heaven and to hell guarding the gates of paradise
Then the martyr bent and broken
Cried in agony for the crime of my beliefs
You have chained and tortured me
Who are you to be guarding the gates of paradise
Oh paradise
The walls we build for protection
When you see them from the other side
A prison whose gates close and lock from the inside
Oh paradise
