lyrics

Verse 1
You’re seeking a solution in the dark of the night
Hopelessly searching for a path to the light
You’re looking for a way to shift the blame
But you already know that fate has no name

Bridge (Pre-Chorus)
Wicked, evil, schemer
Twisted, liar, deceiver
Two-faced, blinded, dreamer
Faithful, eternal, believer

Verse 2
You’re hoping that the answer will present itself
Staring at the skies for the good of your health
You’re dreaming of a way to change the rules
But you already know that luck is for fools

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Chorus 1
When all else fails, you’ll believe in me
Might take some time, but you will see
One of these days, your luck will run out
And then you'll know, what karma is about

Verse 3
I’m waiting in the shadows ‘til it’s my time to fight
Dazed and confused you don’t know what’s right
I’m everywhere you look but cannot be seen
And now your number’s up if you know what I mean

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2
When all else fails, you’ll believe in me
Might take some time, but you will see
One of these days, your luck will run out
And then you'll know, what karma is about

Chorus 3 (Alternate)
One day soon, your luck will change
And then you'll know, that fate takes the stage
Might take some time, but soon you will see
When all else fails, ha, you’ll come back to me

It Dwells Within
by Deathalizer

A great album from a band with a classic heavy metal and modern thrash sound all rolled into one - Sort of like what Metallica would have become if Dave Mustaine and Cliff Burton were still with them. Chris Ward
