I saw a sign that promised paradise ...

We followed the winding path to the castle on the hill - 

From the green heights I saw the reef of white hotels - 

Surfers were glistening young gods - 

A gateway framed the sky - 

I saw a wall bathed in light - 

A churchyard waited for the sleepers to awake -

I saw a sign that promised paradise -
