There Are Those Who Think That Life Is Nothing Left To Chance,
A Host Of Holy Horrors To Direct Our Aimless Dance.

A Planet Of Playthings,
We Dance On The Strings
Of Powers We Cannot Conceive.
"The Stars Aren't Aligned
Or The Gods Are Malign"-
Blame Is Better To Give Than Receive.

You Can Choose A Ready Guide In Some Celestial Voice.
If You Choose Not To Decide, You Still Haven't Made A Choice.
You Can Choose From Phantom Fears And Kindness That Can Kill;
I Will Choose A Path That's Clear-
I Will Choose Free Will.

There Are Those Who Think That They Were Dealt A Losing Hand,
The Cards Were Stacked Against Them- They Weren't Born In Lotus-land.

All Preordained-
A Prisoner In Chains-
A Victim Of Venomous Fate.
Kicked In The Face,
You Can't Pray For A Place
In Heaven's Unearthly Estate.

Each Of Us-
A Cell Of Awareness-
Imperfect And Incomplete.
Genetic Blends
With Uncertain Ends
On A Fortune Hunt That's Far Too Fleet.
