Destiny

from VISIONS (LP) by Gold Light

/

lyrics

Does your heart beat true in everything you do
Or does it tend to bend just slightly out of tune?
With the few you choose to lend it to
Or did they take it though you never asked them to?
Now do you seek truth or are you just passing through?
Do you see the lies they told you in your youth?
When I was your fortress I held all your secrets
The key was kept with pleasure til I finally surrendered
To all of your anger it anchored us together
But you and I knew better knew better late than never
A fool of my own fortune I left come the morning
But I left always knowing you were my Destiny


Does your heart keep time with the rhymes in your mind
Or are you just reciting lines you've memorized?
And what will you decide when you finally find
The line you cross still keeps you on their side
Now do you need proof though you never let me through
The wounds have healed but cost you most your youth
When I was your fool I tried to play it cool
But some scars don't always leave a visible bruise
And all of your angels knew all of the angles
They knew what was wagered and kept you from danger
In all of their splendor they held you there forever
They held us there together cus you are my Destiny
You are my Destiny


Now my eyes go blind from the visions in my mind
I reach out to feel you by my side
But find myself alone find nothing there to hold
And my heart grows a hole it's never known
But the scent of your roses lingers in the darkness
the pleasure felt is swollen as I'm frozen to the moment
And I fight with all my might against the passing of time
and tremble with delight once I realize
The destiny of light is to break through the night
And provide a line of sight back to my eyes
And the beauty that I'll see flowers blooming around me
You planted the seeds just before you rose to leave
It's our Destiny
