[Verse 1]

The near-perfect paradise
Just lay back and close your eyes
And let your thoughts a-sway
Drown your woes away
The sand and the sea at ease
gently brushing the evening breeze
the setting of the sun
lets know the day is done

[Chorus 1]

Cross over the bridge in the cove near a desert
And you'll enter a land that was likely not meant to be found
Sacred the island, and all who inhabit it
Precious the sunsets that envelopes the seas all around

[Verse 2]

The near-perfect paradise
Your woes will melt before your eyes
The summers on the sands
The seashells and the clams

The sun and the sea at peace
The happy songs and melodies
Echo across the lands
Of people hand in hand

The near-perfect paradise
Most would pay any price
Just to extend their stay
To never go away

To live life on the beach
All in peace and harmony
Relax and unwind
Wipe all from their minds

[Chorus 2]

But under a bridge in a cove near the desert
There's a monster with eyes on a world that yet we cannot see
His view is a desolate wasteland of plundering and
The island is haven of the last of the pure which is he

[Verse 3]

So, I wouldn't sit around if I were you
There's so much more for us do ...than
Wasting our lives away not knowing impending doom
And how it's lurking, and quaking, just around the ruins

[Chorus 3]

From under the bridge on the coast near the desert
The monster who's faceless in slumber rose up from the sea
To those all around him, the screaming and running
Seemed naught but deserved and all but a desperate plea

[Chorus 4]

So
The creature who's dealt with the pain and the torment
Lugs its lumbering mass quite unknown back down into the sea
The folly of man was endangered, and surely
The beast knows that it could not continue to be
