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
You prayed to have your name  scattered on the lips of the young
And now you claim  that it's you in the tips of their tongues
If your proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill  well
It must sting to Give up everything and realize that they don't want you
It's lonely road  where the forgotten go
Where your misery finds it's company
It's a long way down  to the  sacred grounds
Where the reapers playing for keeps
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A hollow sound  is ringing where your heart used to be
Have you found  that the admiration will never set you free
Get your lies prepared  your next in line for judgement day
Now  aren't you prayin' aren't you begging that it's anyone else
It's a lonely road  where the forgotten go
Where your misery finds it's company
It's a long way down  to the  sacred grounds
Where the reapers playing for keeps
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Well I bet you're sorry now
You did this to yourself
Well I bet you're sorry now
Well aren't you sorry now
It's lonely road  where the forgotten go
Where your misery finds it's company
It's a long way down  to the  sacred grounds
Where the reapers playing for keeps
It's lonely road  where the forgotten go
Where your misery finds it's company
It's a long way down  to the  sacred grounds
Where the reapers playing for keeps
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
