Long ago in the ancient past
I remember a life when we first met
In a dark shadow world
Under a big full moon
There and then I could tell
You'd try to break my will
But now watch as I rise
To a whole new height
And my mad battle cry
Will be heard all night
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I won't be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time I've prayed my friend
So now you know after time has passed
You can never be sure you're always the best
Cuz I'm back from the shadows
Coming after you
On the brightest day
If your darkest hour
So now watch as I rise
To a whole new height
And my mad battle cry
Will be heard all night
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I won't be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time I've prayed my friend
You destroyed the future with your past
Forgot the lesson of the test
You never understood the blessed
Too bad today will be your last
So now watch as I rise
To a whole new height
And my mad battle cry
Will be heard all night
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I won't be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time I've prayed my friend
(repeat to fade)
