Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What solace lies in the arms of fate, the ill embrace of uncertainty
When did I leave this in other hands—to be pulled down at chance
[Verse 2]
Ripped away by destiny-claws. Am I another of fate's possessions
Dwelling the lie of freedom. Just another straw pulled at random
[Verse 3]
Reclaimed by deceiving time
A silent judgement I can not overrule
[Verse 4]
Drawn back into the origin-vortex. Uprooted and ground to dust
Retracted into anti-existence. A magnet repelled by life's polarity
[Verse 5]
Denied the self control of fate, we flow suspended in semi-life
Until the ever imminent day when oblivion claims our breath
[Verse 6]
Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead, not alive
Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry as will and fate divide
[Verse 7]
Have I appeased the gods of fate. Am I allowed another day
Must I die to escape the scanning eyes of death
