Lyrics
0:10You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young
0:16And now you claim that it's you in the tips of their tongues
0:21If your proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill well
0:26It must sting to Give up everything and realize that they don't want you
0:32It's lonely road where the forgotten go
0:37Where your misery finds it's company
0:42It's a long way down to the sacred grounds
0:47Where the reapers playing for keeps
0:54Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
0:59Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
1:04A hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to be
1:09Have you found that the admiration will never set you free
1:14Get your lies prepared your next in line for judgement day
1:18Now aren't you prayin' aren't you begging that it's anyone else
1:25It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
1:30Where your misery finds it's company
1:35It's a long way down to the sacred grounds
1:41Where the reapers playing for keeps
1:47Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
1:52Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
1:57Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
2:02Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
2:06Well I bet you're sorry now
2:11You did this to yourself
2:16Well I bet you're sorry now
2:21Well aren't you sorry now
2:26It's lonely road where the forgotten go
2:31Where your misery finds it's company
2:36It's a long way down to the sacred grounds
2:41Where the reapers playing for keeps
2:46It's lonely road where the forgotten go
2:51Where your misery finds it's company
2:56It's a long way down to the sacred grounds
3:01Where the reapers playing for keeps
3:08Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
3:13Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
3:18Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
3:23Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
