[No Fate] [ Verse 1: Female Vocals ] Sarah Connor wipes the counter in the morning haze, A silent hunter walks the dirty city ways. The T-800 checks a tattered phone book page, Systematic killing starts to set the stage. [ Pre-Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The shadow stretches long across the concrete wall, A metal heart is waiting for the world to fall. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The clock is ticking toward a lethal dark design, We walk the wire on a very narrow line. The storm is coming and the sky is turning gray, We fight the ending of a cold and dying day. [ Verse 2: Male Vocals ] A laser dot of red begins its steady glow, Inside the Tech Noir where the heavy dancers go. Kyle Reese arrives to pull her from the leaden spray, He speaks of future machines turning men to clay. [ Pre-Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The city lights are flickering beneath the sky, The hunter follows as the heavy bullets fly. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The clock is ticking toward a lethal dark design, We walk the wire on a very narrow line. The storm is coming and the sky is turning gray, We fight the ending of a cold and dying day. [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Warm Strings] [ Verse 3: Male and Female Duet ] The killer tears the station's heavy walls apart, He hunts the beating of a single human heart. In motel rooms they're building every pipe and fuse, With every precious thing they have left to lose. [ Pre-Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] The metal's grinding on the cold and polished steel, The weight of destiny is all they'll ever feel. [ Bridge 1: Female Vocals ] They run through grease and steam across the factory floor, The metal hunter isn't human anymore. The chassis rises from the wreckage and the flame, A logic engine that no human hand can tame. [ Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet ] Kyle lights the wick and throws the final burning spark, To tear the metal monster from the freezing dark. He gives his life to keep a lonely hope alive, So that the mother of the future can survive. [ Verse 4: Female Vocals ] The endoskeleton is stripped of all its skin, The glowing crimson eyes still search for her within. She traps the engine in the hydraulic press, To end the cycle of mechanical distress. [ Pre-Chorus 4: Male and Female Duet ] The iron plates descend to crush the metal bone, A legacy is carved in blood and heavy stone. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] There is no fate except the one we choose to make, For every choice and every human soul at stake. The storm is here and we will never bow or bend, Until the great machine has met its final end. [ Outro: Female Vocals ] The desert road is stretching to the southern sun, The battle for the world has only just begun. A Polaroid captures her quiet, distant stare, She breathes the warning through the hot and dusty air.
