Impact 1: Fate Speaks Lyrics - Singles - Explorers Club

Bret Douglas - Lead vocals 

Trent Gardner - Harmonies 

When every word has been written 

When every line has been read 

When every person cries for justice 

And every partner drops dead 

When every loss has been suffered 

When every war has been fought 

When every son been laid to rest 

When every lesson has been taught 

There comes a time when you realize 

It's all over - sooner or later 

All of us together - stop pretending it's not 

It's going down - It's going down 

Nobody listens - I can't believe it. 

(Petrucci solo) 

There comes a time when you realize 

It's all over - sooner or later 

All of us together - stop pretending it's not 

It's going down - it's going down 

Nobody listens - I can't believe it. 

When every breath has been drawn 

When every sickness has been shared 

When every soul has quit religion 

When every priest has run scared 

When all the actors take a last bow 

When all the big deals have gone down 

When every cynic's crucified us 

When every mother screams out loud 

There comes a time when you realize 

It's all over - sooner or later 

All of us together - stop pretending it's not 

It's going down - it's going down 

Nobody listens - I can't believe it. 

(Murphy-Guillory solos) 

(Petrucci solo) 

Found asleep at the wheel 

Believing in things that are not real 

Our reasons more of the same 

Pointless encounters - endless cliches 

Things escape me time and again 

Running in circles while anarchy wins 

Not me - I'm not going down 

Refuse to sell out or lay down 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks loudly 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks loudly 

Fate speaks loudly... 

(Petrucci solo) 

Face my sentence in despair 

Pacing the floor - the enemy's there 

I'm just so sick and tired of it all 

Nothing but commerce 

Makes my skin crawl 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks loudly 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks loudly 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks 

Fate speaks loudly 

Fate speaks 

You think I've lost it 

For what I have said 

You've got the problem 

And it's all in your head 

It's just too dark 

It's just too real 

Don't take for granted 

This chance we have to feel 

Why do we take it? 

We're out of control 

We're getting worse now 

And we're selling our souls 

It's just too dark 

It's just too real 

Don't take for granted 

This chance we have to feel 

(Sherinian solo) 

(Petrucci solo) 

Why do we take it? 

We're out of control 

We're getting worse now 

And we're selling our souls 

It's just too dark 

It's just too real 

Don't take for granted 

This chance we have to feel 

You think I've lost it 

For what I have said 

You've got the problem 

And it's all in your head 

It's just too dark 

It's just too real 

Don't take for granted 

This chance we have to feel... 

(Gardner solo)
