fate

Fate, you're relentless
A Pandora's box
Your Grace is licentious
And fraught with paradox

Yet, divine discontent
How can I refuse you?
I sing your lament
Because I must choose to

Ought I try to resist?
Seek my mind's solutions
Attempting to twist
Through dark convolutions?

What mysterious depths
Will you use me to plumb?
Step by blindfolded step
Toward pandemonium

Into the Labyrinth
Where Chiron awaits
In the cave of the ninth
Realm he initiates

Oh, Lachesis! your thread
Is so thin, so invisible
In this maze that I tread
Will I see the crucible?

In my dream I was told
That I had but one task:
A candle to hold
"Tend the Flame" you asked...

Fate, you're relentless
Destiny, I surrender
The Heart's Fire is endless
Though it burns me to cinder
