THE GAME IS OVER song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the game is over
the game is over
come October
the game is over

I've lived with the ghost so long
I even know his favorite song
and when the reaper comes for me
I'll know at last that I am free

so many nights I've waited up
poured the wine into the cup
watched the night turn on the wheel
numbed until I couldn't feel

but every dawn the sun came back
and I would the day attack
but still I knew that it would end
the spectre was my only friend

now in the fall the promise made
I'll gladly walk into the shade
I gave it all I had to give
I lived all I had to live

come October
the game is over
the game is over
come October

I am waiting
no more hating
no more fear
I'll be clear

the game is over
the game is over
if I win
If I lose

the game is over
the game is over
at least I
got to choose......

I like this one with its tragic, apocalyptic overtones.
