Straws Pulled At Random Lyrics - Nothing - Meshuggah

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 judgement 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
