you prayed to have
your name scattered on the lips of the young
now you claim
that it's you on the tips of their tongue

and if you're proud
of what you had to kill to get your thrill
well, bet it stings to give up everything
and realize they don't want you

chorus
it's a lonely road where the forgotten go
where your misery finds its company
it's a long way down to the sacred ground
where the reapers playing for keeps

the hollow sound
is ringing where your heart used to beat
have you found
that your admiration will never set you free?

get your lies prepared
you're next in line for judgement day now
aren't you praying, aren't you begging
that you're anyone else?

repeat chorus

well, I bet you're sorry now
well, you did this to yourself
well, I bet you're sorry now
well, aren't you sorry now?

repeat chorus x 2
