The Waterboys - Destinies Entwined Lyrics

Her point of view was radical
More than just a change of plan
She sold me her proposal
Which I did not understand
She said the secret is in the road
I tried to decode the signs
And followed her for seven years
All eyes and ears
Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined

The new land lay like Eden
Underneath my hungry feet
Its trees were talk
Its people all so noble in defeat
Men were digging
Men were building
Men were killing time
I took a spade and volunteered
A pioneer
Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined

I made a stand on principle
But I had not grasped the facts
One folly breeds another
I made all the wrong contacts
I fell in with strange company
For their armour it did shine
I took the only path I knew
They took it too
Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined

While all men shouted black is white
And swore that good is ill
I saw three crosses pierce the sky
Above a distant hill
The sky burned red as I turned my head
And I left that scene behind
I took another god to be my guide
The one inside
Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined

I lay in bed and as stumbled
From the vale of sleep
Across the theatre of my mind
A passing thought did creep
That love is all and all is love
Love infinitely kind
I woke and glimpsed through prison bars
A billion stars
Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined

Our destinies entwined
Our destinies entwined
