Playing for Keeps lyrics

You prayed to have

Your name scattered on the lips of the young

Now you claim

That it's you on the tips of their tongue

If you`re proud

Of what you had to kill to get your thrill

Well, I bet it stings

To give up everything and realize that

They don't want you

It's a lonely road where the forgotten goes

Where your misery finds it's company

It's a long way down to the sacred ground

Where the reaper's play for keeps

The hollow sound

Is ringing where your heart used to be

Have you found

That your admiration will never set you free

Get your lies

Prepared your next in line for judgement day now

Aren't you praying, aren't you begging

That you're anyone else

It's a lonely road where the forgotten goes

Where your misery finds it's company

It's a long way down to the sacred ground

Where the reaper's play for keeps

Well I bet youre sorry now

You did this to yourself

Well I bet you're sorry now

Well aren't you sorry now

It's a lonely road where the forgotten goes

Where your misery finds it's company

It's a long way down to the sacred ground

Where the reaper's play for keeps

It's a lonely road where the forgotten goes

Where your misery finds it's company

It's a long way down to the sacred ground

Where the reaper's play for keeps
