They rule the land, they're in command They hold all strings in hand They are invisible Out of sight they've designed A secret place to play their games A world they're in control Divine law, divine law And beware, now mind your steps We are uninvited guests They may find and catch us, don't forget Do what I say and now connect Don't even ask until we're out of it Everything's at highest stake Come, take a look we are in Take a breath but don't forget Isn't real, isn't true? An illusion nothing more You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (Is your key to the otherland) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (By now you understand) You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (You're welcome to the otherland) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (By now you understand) We get closer, there's no better way Lullaby lane our fate is on its way The inner district is the place you need to know It's overwhelming so let's rest here for a while Someone else appears silently Watch me when I fall down Everything seems real suddenly A perfect simulation Come take a look, breathe it in Artificial wonderlands We are wandering around Things shall vanish, they won't last Now I know you understand This world's not true Nothing is real, nothing at all It's bits and pieces we walk through You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (Is your key to the otherland) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (By now you understand) You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (You've reached the promised land) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (Welcome to the otherland) Wait, I can feel things are not right Do not breathe, don't look behind There's someone else, the observer A trick of light, a fading line The entrance's gone, we can't get out of it We are slightly losing ground Quick, it is time we shall go We better leave and don't come back No way to run, nowhere to hide I fear we're walking aimlessly You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (Is your key to the otherland) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (By now you understand) You're part of the game You're slave to the grind oblivion (Welcome to the otherland) () You're part of the game You're cursed, you're damned (You've reached the promised land) You've crossed the line You've reached the end You've crossed the line You've reached the end
