Lyrics

Out of control

Feeling overwhelmed and lacking restraint or direction.

And as far I can see

From my perspective, there is no solution in sight.

No religion can save me now

No religious beliefs can offer salvation at this moment.

Through i'm trying to believe

Despite my efforts to have faith.

How could I know

The extent of her insanity is unexpected.

Her madness'd cling

Her madness has a strong grip.

From the time of her first caress

Starting from the first intimate touch she gave.

To the final fling

Continuing until the final reckless act.


When you know the name of the game

Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation.

You can never play enough

There is never enough involvement or participation.

Every drop of blood is the same

Every sacrifice is equal.

You can never shed enough

No amount of sacrifice is sufficient.

Out in the cold

Feeling abandoned or isolated.


In the wilderness again

Back in a challenging and deserted situation.

Where I fight for my soul

Engaged in a struggle for one's inner self.

I can see no end

Seeing no resolution or conclusion.


When you know the name of the game

Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).

You never play enough

There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).

In the name of heaven you pray

Praying fervently, but it's never adequate.

You can never pray enough

No amount of prayer is sufficient.

Out of control

Feeling overwhelmed and lacking restraint or direction (repeated).


Wild flower don't you fade

Wishing for the enduring beauty of a wild flower.

Thundercloud on the hill

A looming threat or danger on the horizon.

Let me lie in your shade

Seeking comfort or refuge in the shadow.

How could I know

The extent of her insanity is unexpected (repeated).

Her madness'd cling

Her madness has a strong grip (repeated).

From the time of her first caress

Starting from the first intimate touch she gave (repeated).

To the final fling

Continuing until the final reckless act (repeated).


When you know the name of the game

Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).

You can never play enough

There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).

And the way you love is the same

The manner in which love is expressed is never sufficient.

You can never give enough

No amount of giving in love is enough.

When you know the name of the game

Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).

You can never play enough

There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).

In the name of heaven you pray

Praying fervently, but it's never adequate (repeated).

You can never pray enough

No amount of prayer is sufficient (repeated).
