Lyrics
THE CRUELEST FATE
by Joi Veer
You're right on schedule trying to stick to your agenda.
He's on his own course with no map to show the sudden turns.
You think he's gone, somehow forgotten you this time.
The wheels spin out, you hit the gas, crash thru the detour sign.
But it won't do any good.
THE CRUELEST FATE takes everything.
In one relentless moment, you're outside looking in.
THE CRUELEST FATE always has the final say.
The plans you set in stone lose their claim to destiny.
You barely catch your breath, and once again you're overcome.
You feel him close by - he's life's greatest mystery.
He keeps the door cracked, so he can slip back in the night.
It can swing out in your face - all you can do is brace yourself.
But it won't do any good.
THE CRUELEST FATE takes everything.
In one relentless moment, you're outside looking in.
THE CRUELEST FATE always has the final say.
The plans you set in stone lose their claim to destiny.
He taps you on the shoulder to let you know that he's still there.
He'll have a good laugh watching you attempt to change what is.
In eternal hell, you can't hear the warning bell ring out.
You're right in harm's way, and you're holding on for dear life.
THE CRUELEST FATE takes everything.
In one relentless moment, you're outside looking in.
THE CRUELEST FATE always has the final say.
The plans you set in stone lose their claim to destiny.
c.p. 1997 Joi Veer
