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 tongues
 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
 Whoa-oh-oh-ow
 It's a long way down to the sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 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
 Whoa-oh-oh-ow
 It's a long way down to the sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 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
 Whoa-oh-oh-ow
 It's a long way down to the sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps
 It's a lonely road where the forgotten go where your misery finds its company
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 It's a long way down to the sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
 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
