Set in Stone

Mama told her don't go, stay here with us please
She thought she knew better at just twenty-three
Coming home in an instant, mangled metal and bone
Such young promise lost, thirty-five years alone

In London he waited for his call to take part
In a war that proved nothing just broke the world's heart
The powers that be deemed it's not quite his time
No mission ordered, Lady Luck by his side

It's funny how life takes such strange twists and turns
How one soul is saved while another is burned
Is the die cast, is it pure chance alone?
Can it ever be changed or is it all set in stone?

Do we each have a road we walk steadfastly on?
And a fixed use-by date predetermined by God?
Are we creatures with freewill deciding our fates?
Choosing lives long and full or an early escape

It's funny how life takes such strange twists and turns
How one soul is saved while another is burned
Is the die cast, is it pure chance alone?
Can it ever be changed, or is it all set in stone?

It's so funny how life takes such strange twists and turns
How one soul is saved while another is burned
Is the die cast, is it pure chance alone?
Can it ever be changed, or is it all set in stone?
Set in stone
Set in stone
Set in stone
Set in stone
