lyrics

Hands Of Fate

So-o-o
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]
