Uriah Heep: Paradise/The Spell

I feel you trying,
though in my heart I know you're lying.
I see you crying.
And though your love for me is dying,

It's the pain of your secret heart
bringing you to tears, filling you with fears

for your mind and for your soul.
I touch you softly now,
born on by hope until the end, somehow.
I must go on.
I am a man and I must keep my vows,

keeps my distance clear, helps my footsteps fall
But the wall of your secret heart

back in line inside my mind.
and left me here to cry.
What's the use? You turned me loose
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
Secret hearts and sorry tales
will never help love grow.
Spread your wings my darkened soul,
the time has come to go.
I will not be hurried down
or blackened by you lies.

I must go and find my dreams
and live in paradise.
(Repeat and fade)

What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming?
Don't you know I know what it is you're schemeing?
Who did you think gave you the right,
to take the world and turn it upside down,
hidden by the dead of night,
when it should be round?


It seems I made it just in time
to use my reason and my rhyme
to save us from the evils of your mind.

I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well.
I will light a fire, kindled with desire.
I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here
Stop what you're pretending, there'll be no happy ending.
and I won't be treated like a fool.

But when the night is over,
I'm alive and darkness is my tool.
and daytime steals your cover,
the goodness of the morning sun
will wear away what you have done
and leave you cold.

I have no need for moonlight.
You're wrong to trust in sunlight.
For I exist, not just in storms,
I will leave you now, but you wont defeat me.
to leave you cold.
but in life itself, in so many forms

You had best beware when you come to meet me.
Love and truth will follow me,
brought from every corner of the world.
an army of reality,

I summon all the fires of hell
You will never break the spell.
and this is my advice for what it's worth:

Let us not begin this fight we cannot win.
Cause all through your life,
Be sure you're watching me.
every day and every night
