lyrics

GAME (Utley/English)

Swiftly walking on a winter's night / I feel a passion so profound
Something's moving somewhere out of sight / Something so unlike the stillness all around
Her limbs grow heavy as we cast our spell / One question burns with hellish light
The ancient cat & mouse we play so well / If I should sleep the sleep of life tonight
Come, my little one, don't fear the cold / Their shadow darkens every stair
In its diamond heart lies wealth untold / Their crowded heartbeats echo through the air
Come & join us in our sad refrain / I'm drugged with beauty & with pain
Quench the thirst that burns inside our veins / The demon dance, the cold November rain
Come to me / And I will never know
Come to me / The deathly peace beneath the snow
See the fear that burns behind her eyes / I look to visages of white
Silly things are so afraid to die / They blind me with the wan winter moonlight
The wind will swallow up your dying screams / I rise to follow in their way
Then you'll see that nothing's as it seems / There's much to learn & many games to play
Come, my little one, don't fear the cold / Our shadow darkens every stair
In its diamond heart lies wealth untold / Our crowded heartbeats echo through the air
Come & join us in our sad refrain / Come join us in our sad refrain
Feel the thirst that burns inside your veins / Come join our dance & revel in the rain
Come to me / And we will never know
Come to me / The deathly peace beneath the snow
