They gave him up before his time
Because of prophecy
Some righteous hand removed the line

And now the boy was free

He ran, and ran, and ran and found

A kingdom all his own
There he remained for many years
Now give this man his throne


I don't know why I can't take this
I'm sorry, father what have I done

I don't know why I can't fake this
I love you mother, love: your son


He marched into the king's head chamber
The !@$( struck him down
He took the wife of which conquered

And bed her through the ground

The irony of prophecy

Came swiftly into light
His shining queen had now been jaded
Incest: the king's last sight



I don't know why I can't take this

I'm sorry, father please forgive
I don't know why I can't fake
I wish that I had never lived

I don't know why I can't take this
I'll never look upon her face
I don't know why I can't fake this

I'll never live another day

You can't rewrite your fate

No man can see it change
You can't rewrite your fate
You'll never see it change

You can't rewrite your fate
You'll always suffer falls from grace
A tragic step, a tragic place

You'll always suffer falls from grace
