Paradise (Unplugged)

from Return Of The Tyrant EP by LORD

about

During our Set In Stone tour in 2009, our previous drummer Tim Yatras put his back out and it forced us to think on our feet while he sat out a couple of the shows. We decided to forge ahead anyway and do the shows as an unplugged trio. They went so well that it planted the seed that it would be a cool idea to record an uplugged set one day. We chose the songs that worked best from the live set and threw in a couple of others that we thought would work OK and we ended up with six songs to throw onto our EP. It really rams home that underneath the pyrotechnics, big production and massive amount of layers that we usually have in our productions, there’s a good song at the heart of it all.

lyrics

I felt so weak, all hope was gone
My skin blistered slowly away
Gangrene and Smallpox – no life left inside of me
The pain that I felt was unreal…

PRE-CHORUS:
I make my last stand as success comes my way
My bones gain their strength, nothing stands in my way
The final encounter decides who will win
Desire to live will survive…

CHORUS:
Running away to paradise – victory in my sights
Running away to paradise – the gods are on my side

My body aching – scarred, torn and wretched
Forced to go on through the pain
Was it will that revived me, brought life back inside of me
With blood flowing fast though my veins…
