Dance of Fate

Voices fall silent now The hour is near Bells in the churches toll Their message is clear Talk of eternity Won't keep us alive Drinking and mockery Won't help us survive We are the chosen few Abandoned by hope Heroes for half a day Slaves to the rope Glorious infamy Forgotten domains A last bitter litany When nothing remains Don't seek our repentance now We're vicious and vile Nobody else to blame For life's final trial Twisted hate, dance of fate Tread this path today No chances left, just emptiness Cold and certain graves Voices of the past, of the future Tread this path with me Play their lonely part, their only marker Is history
