Life is Just a Game

By Myrrhkuri the fallen one

He wakes up...
and shakes his weary head.
He doesn't want to go to work,
cuz he'll see somebody dead.
He gets there...
and punches himself in.
Another day he'll wonder,
what kind of hell he's in.

She wakes up...
and he's already gone.
She cries all day,
what if something goes wrong?
He comes home...
She wipes her teary eyes
Another day she'll wonder,
if he's gonna die (and he says)

Baby...
Don't worry 'bout me
Nothings gonna happen
that ain't meant to be.........CHORUS
Darling...
Please don't cry
life is just a game and
we all have to die.

GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS repeat

He wakes up...
and shakes his weary head.
Gets himself ready for work,
gonna see somebody dead.
He gets outside...
hears an awful sound.
A car sped 'round the corner
and gunned him down.

CHORUS repeat

    Who's to say if those who've died, have won, or lost the game? ^V^

    This is a nice piece of work. Is this something that has happened in your lifetime?

    A truly touching and wonderful work, and quite a bit of truth behind it. What gave you the inspiration for this?
