My Destiny
Leaves' Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny

I'm so lost
I am damned in this grey lonely valley
Starless nights so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile but then I see your eyes
Through a mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories
I made a promise, a promise
I'm drowning in destiny
My destiny
My destiny

All my hopes fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash
The color red forsaken blood on ice
The evening dawns on me
Do you care when I sleep
Do you mind my destiny

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dawns on me




Do you care where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny

My Destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My Destiny
My Destiny....

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (And Ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

My Destiny (It's My Destiny)
My Destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny
