Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny

For I have seen past the veil of truth

Through your dead prophecies

Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes

The future holds no promises

Bite your tongue to see

That the answers don’t reside in the sky

Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny

For I have seen past the veil of truth

Right through your dead prophecies

Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes to see

Shrouded in a cloud of mist

The future holds no promises

Except a certain end to this worlds selfishness

The future holds no promises

Except a certain end

Show me the face under the shadows of your hooded cloak

Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny

Pray for the eyes to see

That the answers we look for don’t reside in the sky

Clear your mind of these poison thoughts

Or heads will be severed by the sharp words of the soothsayer

We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood

By the same laws of our King

Show me the face

Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny

For I have seen past the veil of truth

Through your dead prophecies

We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood

By the same laws of our King

The future holds no promises

Except a certain end to this worlds selfishness

Show me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
