Paradise

The light shines upon me
I finally was free
From the one that ruled them all
The one that will eventually fall

Besides all the joy that I see
The one is standing before me
Every tear was wiped away from their eyes
For now we shall never hear its cries

The streets plated with pure gold
The walls with every kind of jewell that was ever told
While miles of vineyards surrounded them
Eating the fruit from their stems

The old is now gone
The new has finally been drawn
All this comes at no price
It is complete paradise
