Writing on the Wall

Destiny's call – it's cry on the wind
 Push and pull us to our untimely ends
 Hands of fate and powers beyond our control
 Bring me my end, but I don't care anymore
 Scatter the ashes, and fade it to black
 A cold embrace the only promise kept
 Dormant acts and words left unsaid
 Reminders of what could have been
 Don't tell me fate wills it so
 Don't tell me it's all in the plan
 Conclusions are happenstance
 Products of what came before
 Standing tall, at the end of your world
 Watch it fall
 All that you've done, and all that you've earned
 Watch it burn
 Blood on my hands, pain in my eyes
 For what it's become I'd trade with my life
 Fool to have thought, at the end of it all
 I could escape the writing on the wall
 When life has a script, no point reading off it
 All moves I make are planned, preordained
 Is the will of the gods to burden me so?
 Setting me up, watching me fall
 Chained to the wheel, a slave to the odds
 The search for hope such a worthless cause
 Put me to sleep, and lay me to rest
 Leaving this world, to die like the rest
 Standing tall, at the end of your world
 Watch it fall
 All that you love, and all that you've earned
 Watch it burn
 Blood on my hands, pain in my eyes
 For what it's become I'd trade with my life
 Fool to have thought, at the end of it all
 I could escape the writing on the wall
 An empty solace
 A shallow grave
 Haunted by the shadow of your memory
 Blood on my hands, pain in my eyes
 For what it's become I'd trade with my life
 Fool to have thought, at the end of it all
 I could escape the writing on the wall.
