Just call me Mr. Dark - Mr. Negative

I'm pessimistic, fatalistic, with an attitude

That's turned ballistic



No rhyme or reason

No symmetry and no excuse

Let it go - flow with the chaos

Hold tight 'cause I can't refuse

Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly



Can't you see there's no returning

Once you've started down this road

You've lost everything you have

And life is over

No impact 'til you make it stronger



Can't you see there's no returning

Once you've started down this road

You've lost everything you have

And life is over

No impact 'til you make it stronger



(Petrucci solo)



Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly

Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly

Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly

Fate speaks, Fate speaks loudly...



Can't you see there's no returning

Once you've started down this road

You've lost everything you have

And life is over

No Impact 'til you make it stronger



Can't you see there's no returning

Once you've started down this road

You've lost everything you have

And life is over

No impact 'til you make it stronger...



(Petrucci solo)
