I am the master of my fate
I hold the universe; the eternal weight
I will fly until I am too late
I am the master of my fate
.
Forever I am the master of sky
I hide the truth behind thinly veiled lies
Listen to the living's raucous cries
Forever I am the master of sky
.
I will watch the dawn begin again
See the colors as the darkness ends
It is in my heart the stars have lain
I will watch the dawn begin again
.
To reach the light I will give in
My soul is dirty, ready for another sin
There is a brightness under my skin
To reach the light I will give in
.
I have heard all the things they said
Voices belonging to the living dead
Nothing to bleed when there is no red
I have heard all the things they said
.
Maybe I should have fallen into the chasm
In the wet air my insides spasm
All the beautiful, I will tear them
Maybe I should have fallen into the chasm
.
I wait in evil to see the moon
Murmuring along to it's dark tune
I should fall before it is too soon
I wait in evil to see the moon
.
All these things I am too scared to find
For lays the opposite of mankind
The forgotten hope that comes to mind
All these things I am too scared to find
.
I am found and then I am lost
Finding the heart before the cost
My fingers are no longer crossed
I am found and then I am lost
.
My first life was gone in a blink
The son of the sky is afraid to drink
Why can I no longer think?
My first life was gone in a blink
.
Darling, all our screams are lost in the crowd
We're loud but we don't make a sound
Oh, how I want to be found
Darling, all our screams are lost in the crowd
.
I am the master of my fate
I hold the universe; the eternal weight
I will fly until I am too late
I am the master of my fate
.
