Hands Of Fate
So, don't be late
'Cause it's August 28th
And you've got a special date
With your destiny.
And when the hands on the clock
Point to 08:48
You will feel the hands of fate
Are upon you.
In the next life you'll be free
Like the birds of the air
And you will not have a care
For what to do or what to wear
Or the way you comb your hair.
Maybe next time around
You'll be lost and never found
By the never ending sound
That brings your down.
And each 28th of August
Could have been so much more.
And each 28th of August
Should have been so much more.
Ooo Ooo, Ahh Ahh
Hands of Fate
Over You
Ooo Ooo, Ahh Ahh
Hands of Fate
Follow You
Then at 08:49
You said "Maybe one more time"
For there was nothing left of Rhyme
Nor of Reason.
So another year may pass,
'tho time may never last,
But at least you'll hang in
For Another Season
And each 28th of August
Now can be so much more.
And each 28th of August
It will be so much more.
Ooo Ooo, Ahh Ahh
Hands of Fate
Over You
Ooo Ooo, Ahh Ahh
Hands of Fate
Follow You
I thought I heard you say
"I must have something in my eye".
The jester was off playing
When we missed our time to fly.
[Laughter]
Scoffs
This is a song about someone who has a 'near death' experience of sorts. Basically a car accident that is narrowly and perhaps 'miraculously' avoided. The song is primarily about the person's (actually a couple) perspectives immediately before and after the event.
Yes, the song was actually written on August 28th, 2018. It was recorded in a very humble home studio over the ensuing few months and released in Jan. 2019.
