paradise lost

(Verse 1) Is this the place, This the soil, The face, This the seat, That we must change for Heaven? These circles seven This mournful night For that celestial light? So be it, alright! He who is sovereign can bid What is great and what is less… Farthest from him is best! (Chorus) To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hourrrrrrr It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy and Woe And when this we rightly know Through the World we safely go God Appears and God is Light To those poor Souls who dwell in Night But does a Human Form Display… To those who Dwell in Relms of day? Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhh! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh! (Verse 2) Whom reason had equalled, Force made supreme above his equals. Farewell happy rest Where joys forever dwell Hail this our test! Hail horrors! Hail infernal world! And hail profoundest Hell! Receive your new possessor: one who flew, A mind not to be changed by place or fell. The mind is its own place, And in itself, Can make a Heaven of Hell… And a Hell of Heaven! (Chorus) A Heaven of Hell! A Hell of Heaven! Ohhhhhhhhh... To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy and Woe And when this we rightly know Through the World we safely go God Appears and God is Light To those poor Souls who dwell in Night But does a Human Form Display… To those who Dwell in Relms of day? (Verse 3) What matter where, if I still be myself? And what I should be, All but less than He Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least, We shall be free! Shall be free! The Almighty hath not built here for His envy, Will not drive us from what He has not built Here we may reign secure, no guilt! To reign is worth it though in Hell, Better to reign in Hell… Than serve in Heaven! (Chorus) Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Than serve in Heaven! Serve in Heaven! Ohhhhhhhhhhh! To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy and Woe And when this we rightly know Through the World we safely go God Appears and God is Light To those poor Souls who dwell in Night But does a Human Form Display… To those who Dwell in Relms of day? (Verse) But wherefore let we then our faithful tell, The associates of our leaving, Lie thus astonished on the oblivious pool, And call them not to share with us their part, In this unhappy mansion, not so cool, With rallied arms to try what may restart. Regained in Heaven, Or what more lost in Hell? (Chorus) To see a World in a Grain of Sand Ohhhhhhhh! And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Ohhhhhhhh, ohhhhhh! Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hourrrrrrrrrr It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy and Woe And when this we rightly know Through the World we safely go God Appears and God is Light To those poor Souls who dwell in Night But does a Human Form Display… To those who Dwell in Relms of day?
