(first verse) 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 height And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
(chorus) 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
(second verse) 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
(chorus) You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and No I won’t be beat again You keep on playing (You keep on playing) Those dark shadow games and All this time I’ve prayed my friend
(third verse) (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
(chorus) You keep on playing (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 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 friends
You keep on playing Those dark shadow games and No I won’t be beat again
