merciless fate

what if that image was taken

in an instant erased from the world

what if the truth is too far

and your reality can't cope with the distance

in the abstract a mind never challenged

is the bearer of merciless fate

all you can feel

is the loss of who you are

by force or by fire

by force or by flame

all you will know

is the void of emptiness

by force or the flame

'til reason prevails

when the doubt starts to creep in your mind

and subverts the true cause of your ways

you must remain a witness of merciless fate

all you can feel

is the loss of who you are

by force or by fire

by force or by flame

all you will know

is the void of emptiness

by force or the flame

all that you see is a darkness

from the outside looking in

all you can sense is surface tension

from a distance grasping at straws

all you can feel

is the loss of who you are

it's not about you

all you will know

is the void of emptiness

by force or the flame

this merciless fate
