[00:10.68] You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young.
[00:16.41] Now, you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue.
[00:22.08] And if you're proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill, well,
[00:26.73] I bet it stings to give up everything
[00:29.70] and realize that they don't want you.
[00:33.05] chorus
[00:33.70] It's a lonely road where the
[00:35.94] forgotten go where your misery finds its company.
[00:42.45] (whoa-oh-oh-ow)
[00:43.98] It's a long way down to the
[00:46.77] sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps
[00:54.76] Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[01:04.74] The hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to be.
[01:09.83] Have you found that your admiration will never set you free?
[01:14.35] Get your lies prepared,
[01:16.99] you're next in line for judgement day, now,
[01:19.84] aren't you praying, aren't you begging that you're anyone else?
[01:26.18] chorus
[01:27.10] It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
[01:30.44] where your misery finds its company.
[01:35.54] (whoa-oh-oh-ow)
[01:36.76] It's a long way down to the
[01:40.82] sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps.
[01:47.97] Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[02:06.86] Well, I bet you're sorry now.
[02:11.95] You did this to yourself.
[02:16.78] Well, I bet you're sorry now.
[02:22.16] Well, aren't you sorry now?
[02:26.82] chorus
[02:27.20] It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
[02:31.28] where your misery finds its company.
[02:35.91] (whoa-oh-oh-ow)
[02:37.23] It's a long way down to the
[02:40.92] sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps.
[02:47.42] It's a lonely road where the forgotten
[02:52.26] go where your misery finds its company.
[02:55.50] (whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[02:57.29] It's a long way down to the
[03:00.64] sacred ground where the reaper's playing for keeps.
[03:07.68] (whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[03:11.71] Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[03:17.81] Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-ow
[03:20.58] (you prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young.
[03:27.11] now, you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue)
