The Game

When you were once held in high esteem, your name is now hated by all/I have ripped from you your fame/But, can't you see? This was all a game

The Game

By: Athens Eternal Maiden

I take a breath for the final time

In my last moments, I have committed the ultimate crime

Off the pedestal you once sat upon, you now fall

When you were once held in high esteem, your name is now hated by all

I have ripped from you your fame

But, can't you see? This was all a game

I looked on from the shadows, pouncing in the dark. You didn't even have time to try and stop me

But, in the end, it was just a little game. Can't you see?

I made a move, and you made one too

And, I think we can all see who has lost our little game: you.

Every day before was dull and the same

Until I began to play our Great Game

But, you can't judge a book by its cover, so I've been told

And that I learned to be true with you; our game did soon grow old

The game once gave me a new meaning; a yin to my yang

In my final moment, I shall end it with a bang

With my phantom smile I shall end

Our little game; good riddance, my friend.
