Stanza 1:
Lock me up with visions
Ideas turned into illusions
I'm so weary, but my mind
Doesn't turn off so easily
Stanza 2:
Fifty grams of opiate
To fetch me a little sleep
And ever have I known
Slumber to be deep
Refrain:
What will be destroyed first,
My body or my mind?
Chorus:
I am in this mad game of life (2x)
Is this the mad game of life?
I am in this mad game of life
Stanza 3:
Thou enjoy this passion
For conflict called evil
I say no, for to compromise
These virtues left to you
Coda:
Leave's not been to tow (2x)
I pray, let your passion grow (2x)
(Repeat Chorus)
