Destiny, I've been told

Destiny, I've been told,
favors the brave and the bold--

Our self-will steering the course of our ship
in a sea immersed in Gods waves'

The wind would seem to betray you, as you drift into forlorn Islands, only to find his treasure',

The waves, ferocious, as ever
I tremor, the thought of salvation
Keeps me a float

In a world, heavy as sin, you'd think
It won't be long, before i drown, i sink

But Desinty, i've been told,
Favors the brave and the bold--

How many men have drowned in waters,
Where the torrents of evil neither soften nor quell,
Their vigor as merciless as eternal hell.

But, the Lord watches over the Sea,
Most Sublime and Glorious is He,
Who knows the folly of man?

And knows the reaches of their souls
Casualties of self-love, buried in hearts of coal
in its bottomless pits, lightless, dark, and cold

Destiny, I've been told,
Favours the brave and the bold--

How many a man, Seized by divine light
Martyrs of the soul, Victors of life's fight

Their compasses set toward God,
And so too the course of their flight
Servants of the Most High

The Ever-Living, Ever-Present, Lord of Limitless Might
Their wings, strands, of divine Glory and Praise

Subhanallah as their hearts sore and raise

Destiny, they've been told,
Favors the brave and the bold--

They have recognized the heavens
Are at the core, the nexus of their soul
Nearer indeed, then the blood that pours
Through their veins,
The rise is imminent, for all that does not conform to his will, will ebb and wane

Let all bear witness,
Let the revolution unfold

Destiny you've been told,
Favours the brave and the bold.
