Still alive the morning after,
Where did the nights go, filled with laughter?
Now your head clothed in pain,
Tonight you'll do the same,
What started as a game of chance tells your body when to dance,
It pulls the blinders on your eyes; you never fear pride,
You tell me now, you have control,
I stand and watch the strings be pulls,
Tell me know, who pulls the strings? - it's not the King of kings.
Close your eyes, say goodbye, feel no pain,
Waste your life away,
Feel the spell, awake in Hell,
Waste your life away.
Wasted years make wasted lives,
Your wrists are held at sharpened knives,
You never tried to pull away; the scars are the to stay,
How do you live out on the ledge and never worry about the edge?
Another step and then you'll fall; your will can't stop it all,
I see you hold the loaded gun,
You shoot to kill, I shoot to run,
The shot rings out inside your head,
The party's gone, you're dead.
Close your eyes, say goodbye, feel no pain,
Waste your life away,
Feel the spell, awake in Hell,
Waste your life away.`
Well, now we lay you down to sleep,
We pray, "Dear Lord, his soul to keep,"
You've already made your choice - you never heard his voice,
The only answer to be found, to break the chains, from being bound,
Now, in Christ Jesus, can't you see?
He sets his captives free,
So turn your eyes up to the Son, and claim the fate you did undone,
Call out up his name today,
Don't waste your life away.
Close your eyes, say goodbye, feel no pain,
Waste your life away,
Feel the spell, awake in Hell,
Waste your life away.
