Paradise (Avestan/Old Persian: Pairi.daêza; Koine Greek: Παράδεισος Parádeisos; Arabic: فردوس Firdaws) is a religious term for a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and timeless. It is conceptually a counter-image of the miseries of human civilization, and in paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. Paradise is a place of contentment, but it is not necessarily a land of luxury and idleness. It is often used in the same context as that of utopia.
Paradisaical notions are cross-cultural, often laden with pastoral imagery, and may be cosmogonical or eschatological or both. In eschatological contexts, paradise is imagined as an abode of the virtuous dead. In Christian and Islamic understanding, Heaven is a paradisaical relief, evident for example in the Gospel of Luke when Jesus tells a penitent criminal crucified alongside him that they will be together in paradise. In old Egyptian beliefs, the other-world is Aaru, the reed-fields of ideal hunting and fishing grounds where the dead lived after judgment. For the Celts, it was the Fortunate Isle of Mag Mell. For the classical Greeks, the Elysian fields was a paradisaical land of plenty where the heroic and righteous dead hoped to spend eternity. The Vedic Indians held that the physical body was destroyed by fire but recreated and reunited in the Third Heaven in a state of bliss. In the Zoroastrian Avesta, the "Best Existence" and the "House of Song" are places of the righteous dead. On the other hand, in cosmological contexts 'paradise' describes the world before it was tainted by evil. So for example, the Abrahamic faiths associate paradise with the Garden of Eden, that is, the perfect state of the world prior to the fall from grace, and the perfect state that will be restored in the World to Come.

Genres: Romance,Now the pain's getting weaker
The pressure's growing less
Soon the dusk hails the dark with a caress
When the shadows' getting longer
The hunter stalks his prey
By the light of the moon's silvery rays
When the night is falling
I can hear them calling
I can hear them calling me.
In the darkness I see paradise
In the night I find my way
In the darkness I see paradise
I don't want to face the day.
Since the dawning of mankind
People tried to hide
From the secrets and wonders of the night.
Please, believe me when I tell you
You should come to know
How it feels just to touch the magic glow
