Even though I tried I can't hold back the tide Predestined to roam the earth Unaware and yet convinced to be in control I've listened to the sound of unanswered questions As well as to the one of blind conviction A desperate need for control since the day we're born I've listened to the sound of unanswered questions As well as to the noise of blind conviction Like an army of pawns swarming on a board We fight without knowing why Rest assured in knowing that we all Live at the mercy of forces outside our control Scream and shout and live by this anthem with the sun upon your face You will be laughing in the face of death when it calls your name Predestined to roam the earth Unaware and yet convinced to be in control Little peace comes to the ones who grieve When logic's drifting and the world that we built Seems like a pile of leaves a few moments before the wind Rest assured in knowing that we all Live at the mercy of forces outside our control Scream and shout and live by this anthem with the sun upon your face You will be laughing in the face of death when it calls your name
