Song Description
A delicate vocal floats over a dark, rhythmic undercurrent in 7/4 time. The lyrics recall how, at the blackjack table or roulette wheel, the croupier will say ?les jeux sont faits,? meaning there are no more bets, you?ve taken your risk, and you have to just wait to see how things play out. In life, you walk out the door. You enter another. Les jeux sont faits. Each action seals your fate.

Lyrics
Fate (Barnard)
There it is. There it is. The way you looked at me.
There it is. The night set free just one,
One small ray of light
You kissed me. Les jeux sont faits, jeux sont faits.
There it is. Everything we believed.
There it is. Dying leaves turn to words and fear to love, fear into love.
Les jeux, jeux sont faits, jeux sont faits.
There it is. Your hand in mine. My love, close your eyes.
And let dreams turn to words, and fear to love, fear into love.
Les jeux, jeux sont faits, jeux sont fait.
Words whispered in haste
Words of God
All swept away.
Forever burned on Heaven?s face
One grain of sand
Slowly, accepting fate
There it is. So many words, so many lies.
There it is. Is everyone blind?
Lighthearted madmen, smiling, bury their dead.
Les jeux, jeux sont faits, jeux sont faits.
There it is. A break in the sky.
My love, Orion has died.
Night falls weary. Its fingers part; out of the dark, fall with me.
Les jeux sont faits.
