Destiny
Bell Book Candle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there any place tonight?
Will the sun come out and light the
Shadows creeping through this barren land
Nothing is familiar now

Looking back I see some how
The future holding our it's empty hands
But it must be destiny, destiny
Not left to chance

With a wave of a hand, in a wasted land, we dance
But it must be destiny, destiny
For only we too
Will know what the meaning of love can do

No truth my soul can trust
Will sleep come rescue us
And I lay my head down on a bed of steel
Love will never be the same

Too close to risk the pain
No touch of skin feels how it used to feel
But it must be destiny, destiny...
I'm gonna be the strength you need tonight

I'm gonna stand beside you
When you just can't to hold on
I'm not giving up on the plans we made

If there's a chance I believe we can find a way




I won't let you give up now
But it must be destiny, destiny...
