about

This song about dominating one's opponent is dripping with swagger and intrigue, punctuated by a soft spoken but devilish vocal delivery.

This song tastefully blends elements of cutting edge electronic and dark rock with the cinematic power of a blockbuster film trailer.

The track was inspired by gaming and E-Sports communities.

lyrics

Run This Game - Lyrics

VERSE1
You can run but you can’t hide
No one here gets out alive
I see the fear behind your eyes
No one hears you when you cry

PRE1
In the end I will reign
No one will speak your name
I show no mercy, feel no pain…

CHORUS
You might be a player but I run this game
You might be a player but I run this, run this, this game
You might be a player but I run this game

VERSE2
You could have let sleeping dogs lie
Now say a prayer, your last goodbye
You’ve everything to lose today
So level up or walk away

PRE2
Nothing’s left no card to play
It’s not your fault no ones to blame
Some of us were born this way

CHORUS
You might be a player but I run this game
You might be a player but I feel no, feel no, no shame
It’s in my nature, I was born this, born this, this way
Now I’m seining you back from where you, where you, you came
You might be a player but I run this game

Only one can be the winner
You will hear my, fear my, my name
I’m make you a true believer
I was born this, born this, this way
Now I’m sending you back from
Where you, where you, you came
You might be a player but I run this game
