Fates warning

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that we´ll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why
Chorus:
Be it the devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you´ll know
Not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day
Or they the lucky ones who are taken away
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above
Or the devil himself come to give you a shove
Chorus
A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away
A hurricane devastates the cities in its way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind.
And some of us are here just so that we´ll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why
Chorus:
Be it the devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you´ll know
Not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day
Or they the lucky ones who are taken away
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above
Or the devil himself come to give you a shove
Chorus
A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away
A hurricane devastates the cities in its way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind.
