Fatum Ill Fate/Noodlot by Ancient Rites Lyrics

A merciless sea dragging you down, while the distant shore almost in reach
Trying to find a way back home, when one's vessel stranded on a distant beach
Like longing for a beam of sunlight, in a world of hostile frost
Adam and Eve reaching out for light, when already their paradise is lost

Finally declaring how great ones love, while the lovers' heartbeat faded away
A terminal patient wishing for life, but forever gone, yet another day

A poet seeking eternity, whose talents are drowned in absinth
Wishing for a vast landscape, when king Minos sent you to his labyrinth
At last innocence proven, but the guillotines' blade cut a minute too soon
Like a vampire captured by a midsummer night, when the sun banished the moon
A young soldier's broken eyes, gazing at an empty, cold winter sky
Never knowing why, on the last day of the war, he had to die
Writing the words to a poem, composing a song, that no soul will hear
Standing at crossroads, never progressing, because all choices shall cost you dear
