The Daughter of Destiny

I roamed through the damnation,
The desolate plains of nowhere,
I had come from nothing...
Destined for the stars,
And I was well on my way there!

But I chanced upon a ghost,
In the darkest recess of my mind.
Where divinity ceases to exist,
Where ignorance stops being bliss,
And solace is impossible to find.

And I danced with the daughter of Destiny,
To the tune of yesterday,
On the dancefloor of eternity,
And as we moved, our bodies entwined,
Everything was suddenly redefined,
When these words from her hallowed lips fell...

Throw away your life plan,
Oh fickle son of Adam!
Existence won't dance to your tune!
What you consider to be wise,
Is merely folly in disguise,
You search for God in the churches of ruin!

There's a God in the suffering, a God in the pain,
A God in the broken hearted, who choose to love again!
So why do you search for the Divine,
Among the ruins of the Depraved?
There's no peace in promiscuity,
No freedom in insecurity,
No life in the confines of the grave.

What if every promise you made,
Could hold you to account?
And what if every excuse you gave,
Could return from the past to haunt? 
If every song you ever wrote,
Could hold you to every word...
Would you be a better man, my son?
Would you be the person you want?
