'Fate Comes Tomorrow'



No time left for old regrets
No more time to place new bets
No time left for grief and sorrow
No more time to beg or borrow

No time left to build your tower
No more time to wield your power
No time left for greed or fame
In the end we're all the same.

No time to re-do, what you've undone
No place to hide: Nowhere to run
Your fate awaits you, and here comes the sun.
Fate comes tomorrow, and here comes the sun.
