Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]When your name is spoken
then your soul awakes as well
And there is no limit to the
power of the spell
You can never leave it,
you can never let it lie
You must find the speaker,
for one of you must die, hey

[Verse 2]
The [D]name[Eb][D]
The name's [Eb]the same[D]
[Eb]The name[D]
The name's the game
[Eb][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
All your lives are on the [Eb]line[Bb]
All your [A]lives are [D]on [F]the line[G]
[Eb]And all your life you know[Bb]
you're dy[Dm]ing[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]What you know, you must not tell
What you know, you must not sell
All the secrets you can keep
All the lies you cannot speak
Everybody steals your time
Thousand voices in your head
Everybody, everybody

[Interlude 1]
Shouting fit to wake the dead
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]When you see the Devil,
then you're looking for relief
And there is no justice,
keep your tongue [Eb]between your teeth
[D]You can be the Devil but you
cannot count the cost
All your time is wasted,
all your love is lost

[Verse 6]
[D]The name[Eb][D]
The name's [Eb]the same[D]
The [Eb]name[D]
Play the game
[Eb][D]

[Verse 7]
[G]You can never be the[Eb] one
[Bb]You can [Eb]never be[F] the o[D]ne[F][G][Eb]
When you know all your love [Bb]is g[F]one
[D]What

[Verse 8]
you know, you must not tell
What you know, you must not sell
All the secrets you can keep
All [Dm]the lies y[D]ou cannot speak
[Dm]Everybody [G]steals [Dm]your time
Re[D]member me and what I said
[Dm]Everybody, everybody[D]
Shouting fit [Dm]to wake [D]the dead

[Interlude 2]
[D]
[Dm][F][C][D][Dm]
[F][Dm][C][F][Dm]
[C][F][Dm][F]
[Dm][F]
[Dm][F][C][D]
[C][D]
[G][D]
[Dm]
[D]

[Verse 9]
[D]When you are alone here,
in the houses of the blind
Don't you ever wonder what
happened to the time?
You cannot regain it, you
cannot bring it back
You must grin and bear it,
stretched out on the rack, hey

[Verse 10]
The [D]name[Eb][D]
The name's the [Eb]same[D]
[Eb]The name[D]
The name's the game
[Eb][D]

[Verse 11]
[G]
You will never know [Eb]the truth[Bb]
You will [Dm]never [D]know the
[Dm]truth[F][G][Eb]
We both know you will [Bb]never [F]look[D]

[Verse 12]
What you have is yours, my friend
You will never see the end
All your future gone to hell
All your past an empty shell
You can't keep your secret self
[Dm]Safe inside upon the shelf
You are [D]not the Antichrist
You are not the Lord of Flies
[Dm]You are not import[D]ant now
You are not the one to dread
[Dm]Every[D]body, everybody
[D]

[Verse 13]
[Eb]The name[D]

[Outro 1]
The name's the game
[D][D][C][C]
