The Fates Are Patient

Performed by Johnny Stranger

Written by Peter Anthony

Give me the beat.

Give me the pain.

Let me just wash out all my troubles in the rain.

So this is how you treat me.

Left me out for the dogs.

Left me a victim of the shadow in your doubt.

Can you hear them coming?

They’ve getting close.

Your reason is no reason at all.

A comatose ocean in which we fall.

The fates are patient.

They know that time will pass.

Time is a desert passing through an hourglass.

We all suffer in this life.

Maybe me, maybe you.

It is the struggle that shows if a man is true.

Can you hear them coming?

They’re coming to test you.

Your reason is no reason at all.

A comatose ocean in which we fall.

Scylla’s sneaking up to kiss your throat.

Charybdis waits to devour your boat.

So here’s the reason I continue to go on…

it’s because this world is full of the most luscious songs.

If in fact Hades waits for me to join his river

I’m gonna experience her love till I feel death’s permanent shiver.

Your reason is no reason at all.

A comatose ocean in which we fall.

Scylla’s sneaking up to kiss your throat.

Charybdis waits to devour your boat.
