Misguided Fortune - Flotsam & Jetsam

Another night of restless sleep, a life I chose to lead

Dream of harsh reality, a vision of your life you see

House of fire;

the price you pay for a broken family

The anger that burns inside, you still can’t set it free

Struggle for your sanity, betrayed and left alone

No one to reach out to, for you to call your own

You want to end this life of hell, to free your heart of stone

In self-digrace, the human race, the streets become your home

Day and night are now the same as winter falls and feeds the pain

Do you think that you’re to blame for the life they chose to lead

The cards were dealt for them to play in a game of life and death

They lost their lives, misguided fortune, there’s nothing for you now

Darkness settles over you, only memories breed more pain

Molded from the grinding stone, you live your life in vain

Blackened scarfs that remain alive, you cover with your guise

Time to live, time to die, which will you decide?

Misguided fortune

A life they did not choose to lead

Misguided fortune

No one to guide you in this insanity

Misguided fortune

You paid a price for their fatal mistake

Misguided fortune

This is not how they wanted it to be…

House of fire, a price well paid, a life now yours to lead

You released the pain from inside, before it drained your life

You came to terms, you weren’t to blame for their decisions now are yours

The mask is gone, no more to hide, the face of fate you kept inside

Against the odds you stayed alive, to rebuild this fatal mess

The life in vain that sucked you in is fading with the past

You found a home, security, the strength that you desired

To live your life long prophecy, your chance to kill the fire
