Man, a toy in the hands of fate,
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
Selfish, heartless, this world we face,
Where emotions have no weight.
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
Two yards of earth it cannot spare,
What has befallen Mother Earth?
Two yards of earth it cannot spare,
What has befallen Mother Earth?
No shoulder offered to bear
The final journey of those of birth.
Now what faith can we place in words' art?
Selfish, heartless, this world we face,
Where emotions have no weight.
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
Without cause, to take a life,
No beast could be so cruel and deep,
Without cause, to take a life,
No beast could be so cruel and deep.
More cruel is man of present strife,
Than any demon, secrets to keep.
Adam turned foe to Adam's start.
Selfish, heartless, this world we face,
Where emotions have no weight.
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
The cloak of love is shrinking now,
While shadows of hatred extend,
The cloak of love is shrinking now,
While shadows of hatred extend.
Who knows when dreams will somehow
With stark reality contend?
No news of death, nor life's art.
Selfish, heartless, this world we face,
Where emotions have no weight.
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
What chains are these, that bind us so?
Giving love, and stealing all away,
What chains are these, that bind us so?
Giving love, and stealing all away,
When breath itself begins to go,
Then we learn to live and play.
A funeral procession, a marriage's art.
Selfish, heartless, this world we face,
Where emotions have no weight.
Man, a toy in the hands of fate.
