The city never sleeps at all I ve been through hell and back again Nothing could ever break my fall When all these streets are soaked in sin They try to break down all my walls No good could ever come of this Fight to the death or not at all Hold on tight to your innocence They ll chew you up and spit you out Left penniless and hungry No end to what they will devour A shallow game for you to play You ll never get the best of me And if you die before you wake A shallow grave will be your fate So hard to hold onto your soul When everybody wants a piece If all these streets are paved in gold The city sleeps in its disease I m not the one for your control I never even wanted this The martyrs lost inside your hold Now drowning deep in the abyss They ll chew you up and spit you out Left penniless and hungry No end to what they will devour There s something wicked coming A shallow game for you to play You ll never get the best of me And if you die before you wake A shallow grave will be your fate Solo A shallow game for you to play You ll never get the best of me And if you die before you wake A shallow grave (will be your fate) A shallow game for you to play I see right through your evil ways And if you live to see the day A shallow grave Will be your fate
