Lyrics
Playing God
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too young to see what life was meant to be
A tender hearts so innocent all could see
Into space I'm staring now
Into darkness I'm breaking my vow
Who am I to be playing god?
I'll be paying the price 'til the end
You are my badge of honour
Every second of every day
I've seen behind every shadow
The phantom of my yesterday
Ah, ah
You're the reason I am counting
I count my shadows now
I'm longing now to end this waiting game
Into space I'm staring now
Into darkness I'm breaking my vow
Who am I to be playing god?
I'll be paying the price 'til the end
How I feel this heartache burning inside
In the devil I will defend
I've seen behind every shadow
The phantom of my yesterday
Ah, ah
I see the future, I know it's wrong
A new life is beginning, another one is gone
I cannot be creation, change this legacy
Maybe worth believing, re-live my destiny
Tell me who...
Who am I to be playing god?
I'll be paying the price 'til the end
How I feel this heartache burning inside
In the devil I will defend
Oh, no, no, no
