Life, a game won by none
Born with an expiry date
Living to die, what great fun
Conquest of life, death begun
Death, the final card there's no debate
The game of life designed to tease
A tempting cycle, there will be no ease
Birth and death, daybreak and nightfall
A chilling tale of finality, hearts will sieze
No use trying to escape it, death will have all
The bells toll, the sound signals a change
Life flashes past on this downward heading road
The virulent infection of life lives by a code
Leading to a land where the demons strode
A land of desolation where the living can't range
The game of life, where no one will ever win
Here on the edge, reality has grown thin
Born into wealth or a pauper, all die the same
In love or broken hearted, climb into life's bin
Damnation is the only thing life has ever given.
