Fates Warning Lyrics
Iron Maiden
(murray/harris)
Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that well die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why
Chorus
Be it the devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up youll know
Not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day
Or they the lucky ones who are taken away
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above
Or the devil himself come to give you a shove
Chorus
A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away
A hurricane devastates the cities in its way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind
