Why must the inevitable always happen?
You think that you've escaped,
Then it's staring at you in the face.
With its cold, cold eyes,
It waits for you to realise your fate,
But it's too late.
And I taught him everything he knows.
I gave him purpose:
Something to fight for.
So, am I the one to blame?
Did I ignite the flame in him?
And send him on this road,
With nowhere else to go?
Did I let him down?
Or was it always written in the stars?
The inevitable comes.
I can hear the drums.
And they're calling him,
Pulling him in.
Was this written in the stars?
'Cos it's tearing me apart.
How do men read a book of peace,
And then turn in into hate,
With their endless crusades?
And they're killing in the name,
In the name of the father,
In the name of his son,
So far no one has won.
There's only losers in this game,
Was I a fool to think that I could tame him?
And can I blame him?
I, I can see another way,
Avoiding all this pain,
Is it too late to break the chain?
Have I missed my chance?
Tell me, was it written in the stars?
The inevitable comes.
I can hear the drums.
They are calling him,
Pulling him in.
Was this written in the stars?
'Cos it's tearing me apart.
Should I pray for him,
To find his own way?
Or is he too lost to be found?
If I fight, will I push him away?
Now that the game is in play,
Is it written in the stars?
The inevitable comes.
I can hear the drums.
They are calling him,
Pulling him in.
Was this written in the stars?
The inevitable's tearing me apart.
