String of Fate – Let Babylon Burn
We traced our names in morning light
But shadows pulled us far from home
Tugged by hands we couldn’t fight
Down roads we had to walk alone
You loved me once beneath the stars
But stars fall too… and leave no sound
Still every step and scar and scar
Somehow led me back around
Strings of fate, they twist, they fray
They stretch ‘til hearts forget their way
But even when the thread feels gone
It pulls us right where we belong
You were the song I couldn’t play
But somehow I still heard it play
So maybe love was never late…
Just tangled in the strings of fate
I saw your name in other faces
Heard your laugh in borrowed skies
But every dream led back to traces
Of the truth we couldn't disguise
You took the long road, I took pain
But both led here despite the strain
So maybe time was never cruel—
Just teachin’ hearts how not to chain
Strings of fate, they twist, they fray
They pull, they stretch, they snap away
But even in the threads that break
There’s music only love can make
You were the fire I couldn’t chase
But still you warmed my empty space
So maybe love don’t come too late…
Just tangled in the strings of fate
“Sometimes it takes losin’ somethin’
To understand it was never gone.
Just waitin’ for us to grow…”
Strings of fate, both cruel and kind
We lose ourselves… just so we find
And if the thread still leads to you—
Then every tear was something true
You were the song I couldn’t play
But still it plays in me today
And I believe now…
Love never breaks—
Just bends… in the strings of fate
