“Onde Estás” (Where Are You Now) is an emotional ballad that intertwines the pain of loss with the beauty of a love that persists beyond absence. The song is a soft, melancholic cry for someone who is no longer physically present, but who lives intensely in dreams, in memory, and in the heart. The lyrics blend English and Portuguese to reflect the inner duality of someone living between worlds — the reality of separation and the refuge of imagination. It is a journey of acceptance, of letting go of someone you love, even when your heart refuses to forget.
The central theme is universal: grief, longing, and the courage to keep going — with the hope of reunion, even if only in dreams.
Thematic Statement:
This song was born from the pain of having to let go of someone you still love deeply. It reflects the struggle between reason and emotion, between moving on and holding on to what once was.
As a band, Fate of Destiny fuses atmospheric metal with emotional melody. In this song, we set aside power in favor of vulnerability — in the silence between words, in the fragility of a soul broken but alive.
Our goal is to touch hearts. Because even in suffering there is beauty, and even in absence, love can grow.

Lyrics Onde Estás (Where Are You Now)
[Verse 1]
I held your smile inside my chest
But now it fades like all the rest
The echoes call your name at night
But I reach out and find no light
You said forever, but you’re gone
The world still turns, but I’m undone
Each street feels empty, every sound
Reminds me you’re not around
[Pre-chorus]
O mundo caiu, mas o amor ficou
No meu coração, nunca acabou
Queria fugir, deixar-te ir
Mas não consigo desistir
[Chorus]
Where are you now in the night?
Onde estás no meu pranto e na dor?
I see you only in dreams
Só nos sonhos sinto o teu amor
I want you, I need you — but I let you go
Mas mesmo assim, o meu coração ficou
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Onde estás… amor?
[Verse 2]
Your scent still lingers in the rain
It soothes me, then it breaks me again
I dance alone in memories
Each step a silent elegy
[Pre-chorus]
As tuas mãos já não estão aqui
Mas sinto o teu toque dentro de mim
A dor é forte, mas vou continuar
Na esperança de te reencontrar
[Bridge]
And if I breathe again, it’s through your fire
And if I rise, it’s on your wire
You are the shadow in my song
You are the reason I stay strong
[Outro]
Where are you now in the night?
(Onde estás na noite sem fim?)
I see you only in dreams
(Nos meus sonhos dançamos enfim)
I want you, I need you — but I let you go
(Mas mesmo assim… ainda tua sou)
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Onde estás… meu amor?
