One Moment of Fortune Lyrics

There is just one beginning
Only a second and it's gone
Is it fortune or coincidence
To have character or not

Fading soul filled
with illusional light
Seven signets –
There's no science at all

One moment of fortune
A lifetime in veil
Resisting the memories
of the past
Is all what remains

On top of the world
Or in depths of despair (Goethe)
Years of grey-darkened skies
Fortune in the blink of an eye

Fading soul filled
with illusional light
Seven signets –
There's no science at all

The current moment is the eternal
And the eternal is the
current moment
And the current moment
is fulfilled
Existence ought to be
understood backwards
But it must be lived forward
Yesterday I loved – Today I suffer – Tomorrow I'll die
(Søren Kierkegaard)

One moment of fortune
A lifetime in veil
Resisting the memories
of the past
Is all what remains

Don't burn the bridges
you once crossed
Many ways you've left behind
Open a door for a new beginning
Keep your powder dry and sharpen your mind

Be on your guard –
Enjoy the moment
The next decision
could be your last

Look at the range
of your life achievements
Watch your step –
Maybe the die is cast
My destiny is the winter
I am afraid of the cold
Caught in a lag of time
Can't leave the sadness behind
Hope for the fortune
but did I perceive

One moment of fortune
A lifetime in veil
Resisting the memories
of the past
Is all what remains

It's time for fortune –
It's time to turn
I'll grab the fate
straight by the throat
I'll stare into the dark abyss
It's time to tempt my providence

My sacrifice is the change of life
Now it is time just to find my line
