When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
Where do I begin?
The candle's burning, nearing the end of the wick.
The sun is setting, taking my soul with it.
Darkness will soon follow; I grimace.
How do I begin?
I have a soul but I am not spirited.
Save me, guide me, tell me what this is;
The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?
My spine twitches when I think of last night;
Did you mean what you said?
My nerves wince when I think of your face in daylight;
Is this how our lives reach their end?
The claws of guilt, with their elongated nails, wrap around me like a hug;
I shouldn't be filled with such hate when I am in love.
I will walk this earth barefoot; to understand the lessons I need to learn;
I will die for the greater good; to calm the flames; to watch as daylight burns.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
An exodus of epic proportions;
A separation of earth's oceans.
Out from the cracks comes a light;
A whisper of something solid and right.
Power in the Gods; the bringers of change;
The underdogs in life's tumultuous game.
Replace the memories of time lost,
With luminaries found in high art.
An exodus doesn't mean an ending;
It's a catalyst for good, a catalyst for the changing.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
King Lear fell down a rabbit hole,
An insipidly love-induced spiral.
As bones crack and hearts break;
When do I stop the give and begin the take?
As tragedy befriends me;
As it sings to my lonely;
Will I be a hero or a villain in this story?
Answerless echoes of a time unlived;
Reverbs of the future, a game to win.
I hold a fear that just won't quit;
For it is entirely relentless.
I hold a fear that just won't quit;
I am a modern day Hamlet.
A man destined to become tragic.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
But I reached my hand out from that rabbit hole;
Like a corpse would want to from its grave.
Cast me in your perfect role;
A Shakespearean happy ending.
Hold my heart in your hands;
Crush it, cherish it, bury it in sand.
Just don't rely on it to get you through;
It's a weapon, a knife, something lethal to be used.
But how lucky are we to have our stars align;
A life so rich, so full of promise; a tale as old as time.
You are the muscle between my bones;
The heart that beats within my home.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
When fates collide, stars align.
