Verse 1 Your cards have been dealt by the dealer death, Without even playing it's the end of your game, The wager collected, the light of the diamond, No chance of reprisal, the scythe has swung, Chorus The Light of the diamond has faded , Fate's will, set in motion, Taken without warning, Taking a part of me, with you Verse 2 The mistress Fate has passed her judgement Why did her sights have to be set on you I take the vow to save you I just pray that the gate is real Monologue 'Death and Fate, I refuse, I refuse to let you take her light away' 'I promise you, I will find a way And you will see her smile another day'

Verse 1 Remembering the past, like a vivd dream No one recalls the death of the diamond I watched your light, watched it fade to black But here you are, your lights still shining bright Verse 2 A sense of de ja vu, as the day passes by Living the dream for a second time Watching the day as time slowly ticks by But dread sets in as the worlds align Chorus Sent back in time through the gateway Re-living over the same day No one knows what the future beholds Blinded to whats to unfold Verse 3 Can it be, that this is reality As what seemed like a dream repeats itself Surely this day can't end the same way Surely that dream can't be this reality

Verse 1 The gate is real defying all odds Granted a second chance to stop fates will A Second sight of the cards about to be played The power of knowledge will change the hand The last cards drawn and the stakes are high I won't let you die Chorus The seeds of fate have been sown Past events will echo Converging to resolve The final seconds will echo Verse 2 Events repeated, the story retold A new beginning, but the ending's resolved Even this precognition of the future Couldn't change fate's will As world's align the scythe is swung But I can't let you die

Worlds 06:36

Verse 1 I've traveled the worlds just trying to save you Resurrecting your eternal light and watching it fade away Refusing to be beaten, I'll keep this vigil burning Resisting being consumed by fate repeating Chorus Worlds are created, realities are mutated The lines are diverging, yet the fates converging Worlds created, the fates are all aligned Realities mutated, the lines are entwined Verse 2 I can't bear to see you die another time These past worlds burned in my eyes, the memories scar my mind Failure is not an option, I vow to find a way to save you There must be a line where your light shines bright Worlds are Created Realities are Mutated Lines are Entwined As the Fates are all aligned

Verse 1 Watching your light fade to black time again No matter how hard I try, Fate will claim it's victim The chain of events seem to change but the ending's the same Chorus The chaos returns, from the beat of a wing A breath into a storm, as the future reforms Verse 2 A ripple into a wave, the floor crimson once more Watching you die, I cant bear it another time Holding you near, holding you near again Another crack, another fractured line Watching the light, watching it fade once more Another weight, another death to hold Carrying your past death's,destroying my mind Your flickering life, becoming desensitised Over and over, again and again, my sanity is crumbling away I can't take much more, this is the last attempt

Verse 1 I can't stand to watch you die another time I refuse to see you fade into the darkness But there may be a way, though you'll have no memory of me Erasing all traces of your past life Pre Chorus I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you, because Chorus This blessing, blessing of a curse The curse, curse of this blessing Is tearing me apart Verse 2 To save you I'll sacrifice my heart, just to know you'll smile another day This time fate will favour me, you might be a world away But you wont remember me, but I'll never forget you That I guarantee Double Chorus This blessing, blessing of a curse The curse, curse of this blessing Is tearing me apart This blessing, blessing of a curse The curse, curse of this blessing Is my last chance Monologues 'It's the eleventh hour, it's now or never' 'With this painting, you will live on'
