Destinies Entwined

Her point of view was radical

More than just a change of plan

She sold me her proposal

Which I did not understand

She said the secret is in the road

I tried to decode the signs

And followed her for seven years

All eyes and ears

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

The new land lay like Eden

Underneath my hungry feet

Its trees were talk

its people all so noble in defeat

Men were digging

Men were building

Men were killing time

I took a spade and volunteered

A pioneer

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

I made a stand on principle

but I had not grasped the facts

One folly breeds another

I made all the wrong contacts

I fell in with strange company

for their armour it did shine

I took the only path I knew

they took it too

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

While all men shouted black is white

And swore that good is ill

I saw three crosses pierce the sky

Above a distant hill

The sky burned red as I turned my head

And I left that scene behind

I took another god to be my guide

The one inside

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

I lay in bed and as stumbled

from the vale of sleep

across the theatre of my mind

A passing thought did creep

That love is all and all is love

Love infinitely kind

I woke and glimpsed through prison bars

A billion stars

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined
