Name of the Game

Through the misty light of a moonlit night

Waves of pain come through

As I realize I'm almost gone

And there's nothing left to do

But recall the life that I've led

And reflect on the things that I've said

Life is the name of the game

In another world far from here

There's someone waiting there

Does she know I won't be coming back

Or does she even care?

Will she find someone after I'm gone?

Will she cry from night until dawn?

Life is the name of the game

Now the light I see is fading fast

Like someone pulled the shade

I hear Charlie coming down through the brush

But now I'm not afraid

There's no pain as I take my last breath

There's only peace as I lie here in my death

Life is the name of the game
