[verse] What's for you won't go past, That's what they used to say, Until you get what's coming your way, Blistered heels and calloused hearts, Should be forget me nots, And honest thoughts, [Bridge] Ohhh fate is a bird, Caged in our souls, Longing to fly free, [Chorus] But love is the curse, Ohhh And time is the fire, A crucible of lust and desire, And we burn and burn, Ohhh And time is the fire, A crucible of lust and desire, And we burn and burn, [Verse] Take solace in your open heart, You feel love when your apart, And simple songs, Sing to your soul, And you should've known, Right from the start, You'll always stand apart, [Bridge] Ohhh fate is a bird, Caged in our souls, Longing to fly free, [Chorus] But love is the curse, Ohhh And time is the fire, A crucible of lust and desire, And we burn and burn, Ohhh And time is the fire, A crucible of lust and desire, And we burn and burn, [verse] When you've given your all away, And you've spent all your tears today, You'll have to find peace another way, When isolation is the only game, And hesitation feels just the same, We only feel what we know, And give what we show, [Bridge] Ohhh fate is a bird, Caged in our souls, Longing to fly free,
