FATES WARNING LYRICS

1. The Destination Onward


It's been long since I've been home
And like a dream these thoughts return to me
Remember how it felt although
I forget the names, and faces are strangers now

It's been hard since I've been gone
Watching from afar and growing further apart
I am here to let you know, I'm aware of the days
And now it's time to go home

I've stayed the path
One that I understand where I am
Ignored the cages set before me
And chose the life that I was offered

The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown

Outside the world keeps turning round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)

Play innocent
Acting indifferent when it ends
The world's a stage we play our parts
Then take our exit with heavy hearts

The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown

Outside the world keeps turning round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us
(I give everything now)

Now words are phrased
Between ones and zeros
And our late, what is it?
Is it destiny, a destiny we follow?

Are we blind, chasing time
With regrets and sorrow?
Now the road draws me back
Home will have to wait
Embrace the time we borrow

Outside the world keeps turning round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us


2. Shuttered World


Welcome back, we've turned the page
On this open book we call change
All this to bring the memories closer
But what exists beyond words
Those that were left unspoken
Now flood the page unbroken

Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It's not the end, there's a long, long way to go

Time won't wait for anyone
And as the days go racing forward
Look back it's almost over

Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It's not the end, there's a long, long way to go

Ahead of me I see the days
Where things were never meant to stay
Look back and inwards
What was left inside?
Oh, I've sacrificed, I laid it down
Uncertain of the future
Still I take another step for now I know
That I am home

Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It's not the end, there's a long, long way to go


3. Alone We Walk


I walked the other day among the faces in the crowd
Trading glances all along the way
As daylight disappeared and shadows slipped away
Along deserted sidewalks
The streetlights guide the way

I wandered without aim, fading in and out of sight
And left the urban glow behind me for now
I linger for a while taking in the quiet night
Then realize my heartbeat is the only sound

I wanted to believe
That we have a second chance
And I thought that you would be
The one to understand

That all alone we have this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall

I move now patiently
I turn to face this great expanse
And I felt the coldness of the night
With my own hands

Now all alone we have this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall
Is all the loneliness a sacrifice worth living with?
All alone we have to walk

I found the lost highways
Winding throughout the endless miles ahead
I have discovered the places
We're never meant to roam

The streetlights drop away
Surrounded now by emptiness
And I know that I am now the one
Who understands, I am one with night

Now all alone we face this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall
Is all this loneliness a sacrifice worth living with?
All alone we have to walk


4. Now Comes the Rain


Understand that pale moon is where you discovered
That sometimes we have to lose to win
It's a shame you never knew, sit there disillusioned
And oh, how the mighty fall now, we learn from our mistakes

(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away still
(This will end somehow) But now here comes the rain
Now comes the rain

Why pour salt into the wound?
Better heal than suffer
Alone with the stars above you
Now silently you wave

(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away still
(This will end somehow) But now here comes the rain
Now comes the rain

Now comes the rain
And through the change
We still remain
After the rain

I wonder if you've ever felt this stage of doubt
Has reached its apogee
Just take away the memory and live without
Those feelings atrophy

(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away now
(This will end somehow) But now here comes the rain

Now comes the rain
And we remain
And we remain
After the rain


5. The Way Home


Say goodbye you're going home
Your heart aglow
You think about the times you were
Holding on to those who've always shown
That the world is sometimes not so cold
And the time has come for you to go now

Stepping into the unknown
Hoping that you won't feel alone anymore
So you put your faith blindly
In someone else's hands to take control
But how were you to know
That something in the night was wrong
So you take your final step through the door

Innocence, nothing remains
Indifference is hard to contain
One step away from falling from grace
Learn how to live without somehow

Vanity, farewell to sacred sanity
It's rusted, decayed
All that's inside is eating alive
The damage is done, forget the way home

Waiting in vain, there at night, silence the only answer
Facing away into the night, into the immense unknown
Those final words, that goodbye, those thoughts you'll hold forever
Escaping pain, forsaking light, can we find the way home?


6. Under the Sun


Another day and you open up your eyes into the clouds
A summer breeze comes and pushes everything away for now
With every beat of your heart the ocean chases away doubt
Imagining that the waves can wash away the pain some how

Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
Hey, hey, under the sun
I will wait there for you

When beauty's gone in the moment is it time to redefine
A tragedy with one solitary ordinary line

Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
Hey, hey, under the sun
I will wait for you
I will wait there

You will find your way
In the meantime I will stay
Time will find a way to forgive
All the passing days

Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
I will wait there
Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
Hey, hey, under the sun
I'll wait for you
I will wait there for you


7. Scars


I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again

I won't pretend there is no end
To what we learn from spite
Avoiding the hurdles
Throughout all the wreckage
Desolate world all that's left
And trying to hide all the scars that come
Along with the mission

I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again

I'm afraid that mercy
Will soon turn to vengeance
Left there forsaken
And when you're walking alone
There where shadows fall
I will come for you then

I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again

We all wander
With our heavy hearts disguised
As a monster, the most fragile kind
Afraid to close our eyes
Oh, am I broken?
Oh, have I sunk so deep inside?
Like falling backwards into empty space
And out the other side

I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again


8. Begin Again


Forget the stars above you
Forget the ties that hold you

I confess
Time flows so slowly
When you're holding on to broken memories
Push aside regret

And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within

Forget the lies they told you
Forget the skies above you
Just leave the miles behind you
One day the truth will find you

I confess
The past is gone, it's over
Though the harm is done
Nothing lasts forever, not the stars and sun

And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within
And now the night is calling
And you begin again

Oh, lamenting all those yesterdays
And pretending that the world would change
It goes on, and even though I know
You've waited so long
You never thought it would end like this

And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within
And now the night is calling
And you begin again


9. When Snow Falls


We betray innocence
When we choose to stray beyond the fence
Now it's dawn, sky is gray
And the path before us fades away

And snow falls now blinding me
Through the dark we have to feel
Our way back home

I felt safe in the bed
In a way I'm sure you'd understand
But snow falls now, I know I'm lost
Looking back I cannot count the cost

And snow falls now blinding me
Through the dark we have to feel
Our way back home

Holding on desperately
To a world that's wrong for me
And I know it's cold outside
Just say goodbye

Snow falls now blinding me
(And snowfall's our destiny)
Through the dark we have to feel our way back
Snow falls now blinding me
(Snowfall's our destiny)
Through the dark we have to feel
Our way back home

Snow falls now blinding me
Through the dark we have to feel our way back
Snow falls now blinding me
Through the dark we have to feel our way back
Snow falls now blinding me
Through the dark we have to feel our way back home


10. Liar


For too long they wait and hunger
For words that play for them
Forget to understand where the man
Made his fortune, it was handed down to him
And we know it's all wrong

Lie in concert again,
Flailing in the words they spin
To be undone they'd have to
Look below and beyond

So far gone your words have crumbled
And lie in bitterness

Lie in concert again,
Flailing in the words they spin
To be undone they'd have to
Look below and beyond

Trying to claim your destiny
Is something far beyond
What is reality?
You know that it has caused
Such dissidence among the throngs
Of those who have no fault
Time is the one to finally judge
What you have wrought

Understand where the man
Made his fortune, it was handed down to him
And we know it's your swan song

Lie in concert again,
Flailing in the words they spin
To be undone they'd have to
Look below and beyond
Lie in concert again,
Flailing in the words they spin
To be undone they'd have to
Look below and beyond

Forget pain, forget loss
Forget everything that you thought
Forget pain, forget loss
Forget everything you want
Liar, the one that hides below, not your God


11. Glass Houses


You try to pretend you understand
What lies within the lines you've read
Are you so lost?
Dying inside, falling out of view
Blinded by light, calling out to you…

Rise up, wipe away those blinding ashes
Take off the tether that demands devotion

You lie and defend
The truth is blurred behind
The glass house you live in
Now that's over
Dying inside, falling out of view
Blinded by light, calling out you…

Rise up and wipe away those blinding ashes
Take off the tether that demands devotion
Rise up and take your absolution in stride
Wake up and never underestimate the lie

Can you understand?
And never underestimate the lie

Dying inside you're falling out of view
Blinded by light and all you do
Is try to hide it's all you knew
Now face the lies

Rise up and wipe away the blinding ashes
Take off the tether that demands devotion
Rise up and take this absolution in stride
Wake up and never underestimate the lie


12. The Longest Shadow of the Day


The longest shadow of the day
Stretches out into the gray
Paints our flight in softening light
Bends our aim to the night

The longest shadow of the day
Reaches out along the way
Shrouds our sight in failing light
Turns our gaze to the night

How long can this last?
How long will we stray?
In this plight of fading light
The longest shadow of the day

We all will go down
We all fall prey
Lose the fight to the dying light
The longest shadow of the day


13. The Last Song


These memories
Come falling down like leaves
We were just fools pretending
The world was at our knees
Headlong into the summer sun
But now our winter has begun

The days ahead
Just questions in the mist
While we wonder
How we ever ended up like this
Hope and fear, of thee I sing
What will tomorrow bring?

It's hard to understand where the time went
Looking back upon the years, I never dreamt
That fate would show its hand and a life spent
Walking down the only road I've ever known

The curtain falls
Upon a darkened stage
Voices fade like words across
Some worn out ending page
The writer writes his final wrong
This is the last song
