Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are those who think
That life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors
To direct our aimless dance
[Verse 2]
A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned or the gods are malign"
Blame is better to give than receive
[Verse 3]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will
[Verse 4]
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotus Land
[Verse 5]
All preordained
A prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can pray for a place in Heaven's unearthly estate
[Verse 6]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will
[Verse 7]
Each of us, a cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends with uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
[Verse 8]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will
