The Game:
The sky the song
the sun cannot bear
sinks slowly to rest
in peace below there
And softly again
surely to rise
in morning's light
so full of lies
And morning's dew
does nourish the earth
Glittering like a thousand
lively suns of mirth
Her breath clouds the air
the mark of the cold
the silence of Death
the burden of old
Death beckons closer
hands curled into fists
Red eyes glinting
like lanterns in the mist
But the Game has been played
the dice have been rolled
I am not Death's
to be taken and sold
To Life I was given
And to Him I remain
So Death cannot touch me
She has nothing to gain
Life is a Book:
And in it: a name
More names written
by One and the Same
Though the dice have been rolled
and the Game has been played
I am just one
so recently saved
There are more
so desperately in need
of a Savior and Lord
from Death's mighty greed
For her claws are reaching
into my home
grasping and searching
for someone to hold
Someone for whom
the dice have not rolled
And the Game not played
for that unlucky soul
But there are none to be found
for Death to latch on-
The Game has been played
for every last one
