Freight train coming through my head on fire
Wishing days had come when I was on my feet
Lifestyles are turning round' in dizzying decay
Fighting with ourselves and still the world it turns around
Destiny's dagger on the window ledge
Misfortune's ladder reaching up to me
The former or the latter of the riddle is catching my eye
It's destiny's dagger up on the window ledge
Cold rain pouring on the distant hills
Foreign crime was such an instant find
Live it up when you hold on to the gold
You might not need it when these days unfold
Destiny's dagger on the window ledge
Misfortune's ladder reaching up to me
The former or the latter of the riddle is catching my eye
It's destiny's dagger up on the window ledge
Blistered feet trudging on to kingdom come
Walking tall with a half shattered hole in my soul
Kicking covered windows out of my mind
With a hopeful stride I walk out of town
Destiny's dagger on the window ledge
Misfortune's ladder reaching up to me
The former or the latter of the riddle is catching my eye
It's destiny's dagger up on the window ledge
Muddy shoes unforgotten clues and the key to inside
Fill the hole with control and dive into the dream
Deadly time has come to see what fits
Just fire that rocket now and see if it hits
Destiny's dagger on the window ledge
Misfortune's ladder reaching up to me
The former or the latter of the riddle is catching my eye
It's destiny's dagger up on the window ledge
