[Verse 1]

There are those who think that

Life has nothing left to chance

A host of holy horrors

To direct our aimless dance

[Pre-Chorus 1]

A planet of playthings, we dance on the strings

Of powers we cannot perceive

The stars aren't aligned or the gods are malign

Blame is better to give than receive

[Chorus]

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears, and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will

[Verse 2]

There are those who think that

They've been dealt a losing hand

The cards were stacked against them

They weren't born in Lotus Land

[Pre-Chorus 2]

All preordained, a prisoner in chains

A victim of venomous fate

Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place

In heaven's unearthly estate

[Chorus]

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Each of us, a cell of awareness

Imperfect and incomplete

Genetic blends with uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

[Chorus]

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will
