lyrics

Here lies under autumn skies
Beneath the mists and the hawk that flies
Another product of some learned ability
Destiny waits and accepts its fragility
Afforded charity for the pursuit of a dream
Who could know what that might mean?
Carried from the house past the grandfather clock
The key must stay within the lock
For such opportunity is not ours to hold forever
But to grasp like stories told together
And to ponder: was it simply born to die?
Or did he kill it? You decide!
Ah yeah

Three cheers for the oh-so-nears
and the prize that never came
The monkey's running low on ink
and I'm scared I feel the same
Even then I'll scratch away cos I know no other way
And you know it's just a game
I know it's just a game

I've never squeezed a stone so hard in the hope that blood will flow
I feel unfairly battle-scarred, but I guess you'd never know
The DJ on the radio has never heard my name
But it's time to play the game
It's time to play the game
It'll always be the same
I know it's just a game
