Long ago, in the ancient past
I remember a life when we first met
In a dark shadow realm under a big full moon
There and then, I could tell
You'd try to break my will
But now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And our mad battle cry will be heard all night
You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games, and
No, I won't be beat again
You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games, and
Oh, this time I'll claim my fame
So now you'll know after time has passed
You can never be sure you're always the best
'Cause I'm back from the shadows comin' after you
On the brightest day of your darkest hour
So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And our mad battle cry will be heard all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You destroyed the future with your past
Forgot the lesson of the test
You never understood the blessed
Too bad today will be your last
So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And our mad battle cry will be heard all night
