Game of Sin

© 2019 Samurai, all rights reserved.  "Game of Sin" 

Take my little box of sin,

Then run away, but let me in –

‘Cause there’s something I still need.

Something I need to know,

Something I need to grow –

What’s in your heart?

Before you go,

I need to know

What darkness you hide within.

Take my little box of sin –

To you, it’s light and righteousness.

To you, it’s all the goodness in the world –

<p style="text-align: center;">That’s why you hide

<p style="text-align: center;">All your demons inside.

<p style="text-align: center;">But I need to know each demon’s name

<p style="text-align: center;">And each devil’s claim to fame.

<p style="text-align: center;">I need to know why you foster such darkness,

<p style="text-align: center;">Why you hold shadow so close,

<p style="text-align: center;">Why you treasure such dark deeds,

<p style="text-align: center;">Why you betrayed me,

<p style="text-align: center;">Why you let the world break.

<p style="text-align: center;">But I’m no different,

<p style="text-align: center;">Though I foster no shadow.

<p style="text-align: center;">I’ve broken hearts and ravaged lands,

<p style="text-align: center;">Boiled the seas and scorched the sands.

<p style="text-align: center;">I’m no demon,

<p style="text-align: center;">But in the end, sin is sin,

<p style="text-align: center;">And I guess there is no way to win.

<p style="text-align: center;">When all is said and all is done,

<p style="text-align: center;">When all is lost and all is won,

<p style="text-align: center;">All our deadly sins bound into one,

<p style="text-align: center;">The greatest tragedy,

<p style="text-align: center;">The greatest regret.

<p style="text-align: center;">And when all is said and all is done,

<p style="text-align: center;">When all is lost and all is won,

<p style="text-align: center;">We’re dead and broken just the same,

<p style="text-align: center;">‘Cause life is nothing but a cruel, cruel game.

<p style="text-align: center;">A game of sin, a game of dark

<p style="text-align: center;">A game of pain,

<p style="text-align: center;">And we were just the spark

<p style="text-align: center;">To ignite the fire of chaos.
