To me life was just a game Didn't need God in any way Didn't believe in heaven or hell Didn't believe in Satan's spell Within me was bitter strife Then I chose to take my life It's a rude awakening Is this a dream? It's a rude awakening Can you hear my screams? To a presence of love I ascend So the grave isn't the end I stood before the throne of God He said: I knew you not I thought I knew it all Now I descend to hell! It's a rude awakening Is this a dream? It's a rude awakening Can you hear my screams?
