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 play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot percieve
The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign
Blame is better to give than recieve

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decided
You still have a 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 that think that
They've been dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in lotus land

All preordained
A prisioner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In Heaven's unearthy estate

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decided
You still have a 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

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends with uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decided
You still have a 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
