Long ago in the ancient past I remember a life when we first met In a dark shadow realm under a big full moon There and then I could tell You try to break my will But now watch as I rise to a whole new heighta And my mad battle cry will be heard all night You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and No I wont 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 Cause I'm back from the shadows coming after you On the brightest day Of 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 wont be beat again You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and All this time I've prayed my friend Oh oh oh oh 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 wont be beat again You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and All this time I've prayed my friend You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and No I wont be beat again You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and All this time I've prayed my friends You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and No I wont be beat again
