A place which I have searched a thousand times
To finally free myself
Forever wasn't ever long enough
I will refrain
I feel a passion washing over me
To she'd the skin I'm in
This evolution will empower me
Now truth begins
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
Take one step closer to the borderline
Where night and day unite
This mortal coil I've gone and left behind
On holy soil [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/epica/sancta_terra.html ]
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
You will not find me
I am safe in here
I am where I want to be
So leave me now in peace
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see

The paradise, pearly gates, describing a world unlike ours, in the sense that it is perfect and pure. That's why in this song it doesn't make sense to use growls or other harsh vocals.

Probably about the divine comedy, speaking from the lips of beatrix.

This song means holy land, babylon etc etc a magical place that is a sanctuary of endless possibilities.

I think it might be about a morbid escape from reality, a drop into insanity -- you can't find a person in their mind where everything they want happens... And sometimes some things they do not want, when their 'dreams are slanted'. Insanity is hard to resist, it's 'a force that was sent out to win you'.
