lyrics

You closed your eyes and begged the pain to stop
And then you joked you'd kill for one last drop
Call me from my sleep. I meant to leap. I've gone too deep.
Catch me as I fall. I've drunk it all. Come, bear my pall

I've lost your words. It's late and I'm behind.
Bring me my dose. I shall not waste this mind
Bear me to the shore. I am my law. Shall be no more.
Don't weep for me now that I'm free. Just this, I plea.

Rolls the stone that tells the end of play
Rolls the stone that turns the pain away

This life shall take all who love it best
It took your laugh and then it took the rest
It's far too bright. So hot tonight. Too fast to fight.
So, now you know it's time to go. On with the show

Rolls the stone that tells the end of play
Rolls the stone that turns the pain away

Night time. Tight time. Never the right time.
My time. Your time. All we need is more time.

If I have left no shame who'll speak my name for the last time?
Raise me from this strain. Come give me rain where I have lain.

Rolls the stone that tells the end of play
Rolls the stone that turns the pain away

Rolls the stone that tells the end of play
Rolls the stone that turns the pain away
