Lyrics
Take you life away from here
Roll the dice and turn the card
Watch the odds with care
Never leave your deep-side bared
Or you might lose the game
Take your life away from here
I will walk there by your side
If you call my name
But I can't cross that border-line
No I won't play the game
The power lines that fuel the play
Sustain you day by day
Creating light from out the dark
Is the heart of man
Take your life away from here
The hurt and pain that needn't be
The silent side of things
The rush to cross that border-line
The need to play the game
Take your life away from here
I will walk there by your side
If you call my name
But I can't cross that border-line
No I won't play the game
