Like Sand by Cause of Death published on 2015-06-29T15:00:00Z The second track from Cause of Death's EP Life Part 0 (2015) music: Karppinen/Aaltonen, lyrics: Karppinen/Aaltonen LYRICS: Like the stars never-ending dancing their eternal dance Our fates intertwined so easy to unravel, so hard to tie From conception to cessation we are an uneven sum of odds Formed and guided by chance our struggles shaped by an indifferent world Every corner turned another future in front of you The course of your life altered by the accumulation of encounters Like sand ever-shifting we are shaped by each other Experiencing life thru the lens of consciousness Our fate is a fickle mistress Giving no regard to our dreams and wishes Never to be foretold by us The connections disappear in chaos Every choice is not ours to make circumstances give us form The course of your life altered by the choices of others Like sand ever-shifting we are shaped by each other We exist by the miracle of ever growing complexity Every detail affects another Whether we outlive each other A chance encounter becomes like blood Another road, another life, another chance So many lovers never united So many lives snuffed out before they started Beating the odds by being born Victor marching the given road At the mercy of the elements Linked to our ancestors The course of your life altered by incidents in increment Like sand ever-shifting We are shaped by each other We seek fulfillment thru the thoughts of another Genre Death Metal
