The Game

The bar was dark and quiet and still And nothing could be heard, the dust lay undisturbed At a table near the back, underneath a fan Two men shared a joke about the normal folk The cards are on the table, the winner takes it all The game is nearly over, one man about to fall 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, no "I'm calling your bluff", the first man said The people went to war, they always wanted more And how could I ever fail to lose? They can't take it any more, they want to end the score 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 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, good God! Oh 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 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 One man left the table, the other with head in hands Paid the bill for the defeated the only thing left that stands 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, no 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, no
