"Games By The Grave" Lyrics

From childhood's years they have tried,
To creep like snakes into your life,
Liars clad in black and white,
Telling you whats wrong, telling you whats right,

Tell you your here just to serve, with threats of fire after earth,
He died for you you'll die for him, thats a game you'll never win,

(chorus)
Games by the grave, they're playing games by the grave,
Games you just can't win, theres fire after sin,

They live in temples built on lies, preaching what they decide,
Theres no heaven in the sky and hell stops here when you die,

To this ancient book you must pray, these old rules don't work today,
The word of god will set you free, but first you must get on your knees,

(chorus)
Games by the grave, they're playing games by the grave,
Games you just can't win, theres fire after sin,

(musical interlude)

As your last page begins to turn, they tell you how you will burn,
Repent your sins from days of old, and line their pockets filled with gold,

This curse you'll pass on to your child, as they've planned all the while,
As he waves good-bye to your grave, they say ?hey kid, do you wanna play??

(chorus)
Games by the grave, they're playing games by the grave,
Games you just can't win, theres fire after sin
