Why 
Does the inevitable 
always happen?
You think that you've escaped
Then it's staring at you in the face
With its cold, cold eyes 
It waits for you to realise your fate
But it's too late

And I taught him everything he knows
I gave him purpose
Something to fight for 

So am I the one to blame?
Did I ignite the flame in him
then send him on this road
With nowhere else to go?

Did I let him down?
Or was it always written in the stars?

The inevitable comes
I can hear the drums
And they're calling him
Pulling him in

Was this written in the stars?
Cause it's tearing me apart

How do men read a book of peace
And then turn it into hate
With their endless crusades?
And they're killing in the name
In the name of the Father
In the name of his son
So far no one has won 

There's only losers in this game
Was a fool to think that I could tame him?
And can I blame him?

And I 
can see another way
Avoiding all this pain
Is it too late to break the chain?
Have I missed my chance?

Tell me, 
Is it written in the stars?

The inevitable comes
I can hear the drums
And they're calling him
Pulling him in

Was this written in the stars?
Cause it's tearing me apart

Should I pray for him to find his own way?
Or is he too lost to be found?
If I fight, will I push him away
Now that the game is in play?
Is it written in the stars?

The inevitable comes
And I can hear the drums
And they are calling him
Pulling him in

The inevitable's tearing me
Apart
