Is This My Destiny Lyrics

[Verse 1: Both]
Cursed with sorrow, pain and woe
Filled with feelings I can't show
Oh blessed love what else for me
Is this my destiny?

[Verse 2: Both]
I'm a god truly made
For everyone somewhere will meet
Someone stole my love from me
Is this my destiny?

[Chorus: Both]
At night I toss and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny

At night I toss and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
