Select language to translate this lyric
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the Gods are malign'
Blame is better to give than receive
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
Or kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will
There are those who think that
They were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
you still have 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
