It's only after we've lost everything
That we're free to do anything
But do we have free will, Or is our path set?
I don't believe in destiny, there's no control in that life
Does the walker choose the path? Or the path, the walker?
It's not in the stars to hold our destiny
But in ourselves.
From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are,
But know not what we may be.
You've been created to make a difference
You have within you the power to change the world
Long have I waited for the calm
The weightlessness of being
The silent cleanse
But there was none to be had
And much less to be given
Perhaps I have always been the storm.
When the tempest rages
When the thunders roar and the lightning blaze
Around us the truly brave stand firm
I would turn back time
I would change the world
I'll sacrifice it all just for you
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are,
But know not what we may be.
You can't change what people are without destroying who they were
Without destroying who they were
The wings of a butterfly Wash over me
I see through the storm like a perfect memory
I wish I could stay in this moment forever
But then It wouldn't be a moment.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
Who favour fire I wish I could stay in this moment for ever
Without destroying who you were
You can't change what people are
Without destroying who they were
