DESTINY

(T. Beechey)



As you walk a lonesome path, you're never certain what awaits

Or if you may incur the wrath of someone who controls the fates

If you take a darkened trail, you don't know what's around the bend

Could be a keeper of the tale, might be the furthest from a friend



I pray, young lasses, heed me well

Don't place faith in those unknown

Between your steps, do not dwell

For what proceeds is yours alone

May your wisdom match your look

And what is has always been:

Evil from anything's never mistook

The toughest loss is your greatest win



When the stars arise on a shadowed wood, it's anyone's guess what may come

Is it bad or is it good or is there no telling where it's from?

If you find yourself all alone in these dusky shades, be aware ---

Each step you take is not unknown...someone feels your presence there



(SPOKEN) There's echoes in the silence

               Whispers in the screams

               All that ever makes sense

               In a world of broken dreams

               Is the waking of tomorrows

               By the glow of yesterdays

               And everything time borrows

               The hand of fate repays



I pray, fair maidens, heed me well

Don't place faith in those unknown

Between your steps, do not dwell

For what proceeds is yours alone

Let your judgment equal charm

And the same's today as years ago:

Under any garment, evil does harm

Softest touch deals the hardest blow
