Playing For Keeps

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
And 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 go 
Where your misery finds its company
It's a long way down to the sacred ground 
Where the reaper's playing 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
You're 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 go 
Where your misery finds its company
It's a long way down to the sacred ground 
Where the reaper's playing for keeps

Well, I bet you're 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 go 
Where your misery finds its company
It's a long way down to the sacred ground 
Where the reaper's playing for keeps

(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)
