STARING INTO THE ABYSS

Verse1

The frozen lake of time, He crosses without fear
The void of the unknown, The seeing pool of tears
To witness what might be, one possible mistake.
Destruction of mankind, black future in our wake.

What lies in front of him, Is it written in stone
Deciding paths to take do they all lead to one
The sands of time are set, the future we await
But knowledge he posesses could alter his own fate.

Chorus

Staring into the Abyss,
At coincidence or fate, A vision of the truth,
That stares back in his face, A black hole for the mind
Reflects the end of time, Staring into the Abyss

Verse2

Chaos theory, governing our every move
Colliding with a destiny, We can't control
Tied to the tracks, the world cannot just turn away
Passing the point, the point of no return.

Make one mistake, Your world will come crashing down
The chain reaction, Ripples through time itself
Old wounds of war will, Spill their blood one more time
The same forgotten stories resurrect

No fate
But what we make for ourselves
The dark he sees before him will come.

He stands on the rock
Looks down to the depths
Sees what no man should see

He sees what we make
With our hands and our minds
Slowly digging our own graves

He trembles in fear
the look in his eyes
in the presence of his own death
But can he change his destined path
