Meshuggah Straws Pulled At Random Lyrics

Straws Pulled At Random Lyrics


Music: Marten Hagstrom
Lyrics: Tomas Haake

What solace lies in the
arms of fate
-The ill embrace of uncertainty
When did I leave this in
other hands
-To be pulled down at chance

Ripped away by
destiny-claws
Am I another of fate's possessions
Dwelling the lie of
freedom
Just another straw pulled at random

Reclaimed by deceiving
time
A silent judgment I can not overrule

Drawn back into the
origin-vortex
Uprooted and ground to dust
Retracted into
anti-existence
A magnet repelled by life's polarity

Denied the self
control of fate
we flow suspended in semi-life
Until the ever imminent
day
when oblivion claims our breath

Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead,
not alive
Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry. As will and
fate
divide

Have I appeased the gods of fate
Am I allowed another
day
Must I die to escape
the scanning eyes of death
