Moving through the hills above a twisted paradise The city spreads like scattered j**els across a velvet night Streets below are churning, hungry and alive Rainbow's end for those who win; others won't survive Stepping from a bus into this dog-eat-kitten world Pa**ing through the turnstile, a frightened, lonely girl Small town misconceptions of Eden by the sea Foggy dreams of youth explode in stark reality The gra** looked so much greener on the hills beyond her own Leaving everything behind, heading out alone Momentary panic rising in the throat Never turning back now, never losing hope No intimidation, choking back the tears Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear Captured for awhile in the nightly glitter life A less than righteous carnival of dangerous delights Going through the motions, playing out each part Outside, cool indifference; inside, pleading hearts
The craving for affection is much stronger when alone Character reveals herself when need cuts to the bone Momentary panic rising in the throat Never turning back now, never losing hope Those who wait in solitude must learn to persevere Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear Caught up in the magic of a perfect summer's night The city spreads like scattered j**els beyond the realms of sight Onshore breeze is blowing, warm and whispering Heartbeat pound of distant surf completes the fantasy The rainbow's end is always near to those with ears to hear Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear No storm lasts forever, darkness cannot last The iron bars of evil are shattering like gla** The presence of a shadow only means the light is near Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear
