The End of the Game Lyrics

Not so long ago you had all that you could wish for and need

Acquaintances in all the right places to help you succeed

You remember how you smiled at them when they tried to explain

I hope you're ready for the end of this game

All the people that you used to look down upon from your balcony

Now you find that you aren't so different from them as you liked to believe

And would you have understood them if you had seen what you became

I hope you're ready for the end of this game

You thought you would always have someone to count on when things got severe

But now you realise those friends of yours weren't so sincere

And where will you go to now that you've lost your domain

I hope you're ready for the end of this game

You mistook your security for blindfolds and having your hands bound

Your superficial educational credentials finally let you down

And you know that once your ego's lost its so hard to reclaim

I hope you're ready for the end of this game

They warned you even pride has it price to pay and charity is cold

But you couldn't see how fragile and precariously you were balanced on your throne

And the wise man broke down and cried because you didn't know his name

I hope you're ready for the end of this game
