The Dignity Of Labour – Predestined By One lyrics

The waves are endless on this shoreline
Beyond, the misty urban glow
Sure as the tide, passion burns deep inside
But I'm helpless against the undertow

Colors fall from a slumber-laden sky
Just as they did the day before
But given the right, would you turn back the night
Or promise me there would be any more?

There's a sage with a vacant stare
And an empty crystal ball
No control, no revelation
Only writing on the wall

A long goodbye and many questions
Tears colliding with the rain
And with every cloud comes a prayer out loud
No promises to shelter us from pain

There's a sage with a vacant stare
And an empty crystal ball
No control, no revelation
Only writing on the wall

Sure as the trading of the seasons
And the earth around the sun
Every second of the future
Is predestined by One
