Twist Of Fate

[I. Descent Into The Valley Of The Shadow]Yea, though I walk through thevalley of the shadow of deathI will not fearYea, though I breathe heavystruggle in every breathI will draw near[II. Passage Through The Valley]I have broken bread with evil unawareI have sat down to dine with the road to hellI have walked hand-in-hand with deception and greedAnd I have lived to tellSometimes I feel like a puppet of "fate"And struggle to sever the stringsSometimes my soul tries to fly awayBut collapses under broken wingsThe modern-day Judas has planted the kissThe chameleon has changed once againOpen the gates of betrayalPlant the knife in my back, my "friend"Why must another day sown reap with confusion?Why must I sleep wrapped in blankets of pain?Trying to win with the cards I've been dealtBut without eyes of faith there can be nothing gainedThe thorn in my flesh, the scars of myselfThe dance with deception, the death of my prideConfusion of life, tasting the knife insideThe hand of "fate" has wrapped its freezing fingers around meAnd squeezed until the life dripped from my soulAnd broken strings disrupt cohesion of my symphonyBut my eyes watch the Conductor in controlI wait for an answerI search for a signI pray for the healing of timeI look for a reasonTo bring peace of mindBut once more, no reason I findFather, hear my crySpirits swarm around me: I feel itThey war against the one who dwells insideFate does not exist, I know it in my soul,And strife to have that same faith in my mindTonight I sleep upon a bed of nails it seemsFor once again I am a field of warBut it has long been written,all things work together perfectly for meFor I have been rebornThe hand of God has wrappedprotective fingers around meTo guard me from a self-defeating wayThe Spirit brings discernment so I need no eyes to seeI realize my loss is gain todayI wait for an answerI search for a signI pray for the healing of timeI can't fathom the reasonsWith this mortal mindSo I step out in faith after closing my eyesFather, hear my cry[III. Ascent Unto The Mountain]Visions of a child, visions of a life I beholdVisions that I can't purge from my mindVisions in the night, dreams of second sight I beholdDreams of supernatural warning signs?The issues of man, the fabric of timeAll weave in cohesion, exist interwinedDivine orchestration, flawless grand designBeyond comprehension,beyond mortal mindsMethodically, flawlessly restructuring my lifeSupernaturally changing me, surgically preciseFather of glory, the only help I seeReach down your hands to meSet me freeFather of mercy, please take this hex from meFor yes I do believe
