Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The bar was dark, quiet and still
And nothing can be heard
The dust lay undisturbed
At a table near the back
Underneath a fan
Two men shared a joke about the normal folk
[Verse 2]
The cards are on the table
The winner takes it all
The game is nearly over
One man about to fall
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell?
[Verse 4]
I'm calling your bluff, the first man said
The people went to war, they always wanted more
How could I ever fail to lose
They can't take it any more, they want to end the score
[Verse 5]
The second man showed his hand
Some walked barefoot across the land
And many have seen the future
And are doing the best they can
[Verse 6]
But I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell?
[Verse 7]
Oh, I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell?
[Verse 8]
The clock ticked past the final hour
Now which of the men had lost?
And what was the cost?
The glasses now were empty and gone
To wash away the shame, and take away the pain
[Verse 9]
One man left the table
The other was head in hands
He paid the bill for the defeated
The only thing that's left that stands
[Verse 10]
No, I don't believe in Heaven
And I don't believe in Hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell?
[Verse 11]
Oh, I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell?
