Just call me Mr Dark - Mr Negative
I'm pessimistic, fatalistic, with an attitude
That's turned ballistic

No rhyme or reason
No symmetry and no excuse
Let it go - flow with the chaos
Hold tight 'cause I can't refuse
Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
Once you've started down this road
You've lost everything you have
And life is over
No impact 'til you make it stronger

Can't you see there's no returning
Once you've started down this road
You've lost everything you have
And life is over
No impact 'til you make it stronger

(Petrucci solo)

Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly
Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly

Can't you see there's no returning
Once you've started down this road
You've lost everything you have
And life is over
No Impact 'til you make it stronger

Can't you see there's no returning
Once you've started down this road
You've lost everything you have
And life is over
No impact 'til you make it stronger
