Fortuna

Fortuna (Latin: Fortūna, equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) is the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck in Roman religion who, largely thanks to the Late Antique author Boethius, remained popular through the Middle Ages until at least the Renaissance. And her blindfolded depiction is still a really important figure in many aspects of today's Italian culture, where the dichotomy fortuna / sfortuna (luck / unluck) plays a prominent role in everyday social life, also represented by the very common refrain "La [dea] fortuna è cieca" (latin Fortuna caeca est; "Luck [goddess] is blind").

Count again 
All these days 

Waking from this dream yet again 
In a rush to clear your vision 
A breeze comes in, it tears you up 
Leave you cold, it's just an instinct 
Depart from here and leave again 
Move past these blinding fears 
Reflecting over those days 
That are no longer in reach 

I'm just trying to stray away from these vices 
It's hard to tell if it's worth through all these phases 
Time ticks along without a care of the world 
And now your words begin to fade into the night 

Mornings just treat you all the same 
Everyone they stop to chat and greet 
With much unchanged it's hard to say 
Which route will find fortune today 
Making all kinds of careless stops 
Despite the clues that we've seen through 
Remembering back to that day 
You'd wish to turn back the flow 

Count again 
All these days 
How you felt 
How you've changed 

I'm just trying to stray away from these vices 
It's hard to tell if it's worth through all these phases 
Time ticks along, it's been years 
Without a care, just left here 
And now your words begin to fade into the night 
Just pretend 

I'm just trying to stray away from these vices 
It's hard to tell if it's worth through all these phases 
Time ticks along without a care of the world 
And now your words begin to fade into the night
