THE GAME // LYRICS
One light, sure to follow
Hold tight for tomorrow
Let go, be the witness
Come close, we can end this
I walk on the line
Between worlds, got no sides
On the edge of a knife
You gotta fight for your life
Can't stop the world from changing
Even though your hearts are breaking
I feel the power's fading
It's all in the way you play the game
Ain't no use in burning witches
When we die we're twice as vicious
Fire burns inside your eyes
The powers yours, take back the night
Can't stop the world from changing
Even though your hearts are breaking
I feel the power's fading
It's all in the way you play the game
Can't stop the world from changing
Even though your hearts are breaking
I feel the power's fading
It's all in the way you play the game
Their lies will never break me
Everybody knows I'm crazy
We can face the darkness, baby
It's all in the way you play the game

It has an X factor about it also... I would say it's a bunch of cliches, I normally do, but... FOR SOME REASON it fucking works and I can't stop listening to it.

[@OmarSierraltaV11]

Ghost needs Starbenders in their touring, perfect match!

[@Starbenders]

That’s a great idea! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@MetalHeart]

Quelle magnifique idée ! Ça serait le concert de ma vie

[@chrisrosenberg4864]

I concur

[@LowHonorMorgan]

Ghost is my selling point to all of my friends with Starbenders. “Think Ghost if Tobias was a woman” 😂 I wholeheartedly agree though. That’s be incredible

[@DeusMachina71]

That indeed would be a nice tour..

[@nazarenatoledo6019]

Primera vez que le doy Gracias a Instagram por hacerme encontrar esta rolita ❤

[@dominiqueknox2519]

normally i get attached to artists for a few months and move on but i’ve been listening to y’all for 2 years and i haven’t gotten tired of a single song. i’ve seen y’all twice now both in ATL and loved every single second. best band ever💕🎸

[@Starbenders]

Thank you for such a beautiful message. Made our night! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@MetalHeart]

J'éprouve le même sentiment. Depuis que je les ai découverts à la sortie de "London" en 2019, j'ai ensuite écouté toute leur discographie et je suis devenu "addict". J'ai voulu traverser l'Atlantique pour les voir et ils sont enfin venus en Europe en 2023. Voici une version de "The Game" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rNmqxrpJ14eLMsi=dCpz0YdbmDCcqR4Z

I’m not into female vocals but I confess I loved this song. The 80’s vibe caught me hard! It reminded me of Alice Cooper somehow. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷❤️

[@captaincaptain2128]

This is literally my favorite song. Love it.

Conheci a banda hoje graças a uma propaganda no Instagram e já estou apaixonado! To ouvindo tudo no Spotify e amando! Feeling puro! ❤️

[@Reid_Jorgensen]

By far my favorite album of 2023! ❤🖤 Keep crushing it mighty Starbenders!

[@21stCenturySin]

Reminds me of a mix between Killer Dwarfs & Lizzy Borden. I know most artists don’t want a comparison but this is a great compliment. I’m a fan. 🤘🏻

[@daughter_of_hades5312]

Instagram brought me here, I don't regret. This is pure fire 🔥🤘

[@JonnyDarko602]

Idk how to explain this band but the world needs it

[@SeanPFarley]

I am so glad I stumbled upon this band (scrolling TikTok videos really does pay off!). I'm 48 and the 80s metal scene was my jam. This is giving me so many vibes. Definitely shadows of W.A.S.P. The singer is like a glamorous Blackie Lawless. But the riffs, the singing, the solos, the aesthetic...it rocks.

[@JorgeMunoz-kq8np]

That 90's vibe... good lyrics... good performance when playing... the singer's hypnotic style... I liked the band. Greetings

[@OtterThunder]

It's truly amazing to see a band as talented as this, with this level of showmanship. Just an all around treat of a band to enjoy that's got such a vibrant visual flair and knows how to writes songs with substance.

[@MetalHeart]

Ce groupe est bourré de talent ! Je les suis depuis 2019 et ils ne m'ont jamais déçu, au contraire. Voici une version Live de "The Game" des Starbenders : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rNmqxrpJ14eLMsi=veF4btrZS3Vl7bNr

[@sloliver]

The vibe of this band is so unique, Kimi is amazing. If you ever come to Raleigh I want to take you out for pancakes.

[@justinlayton]

This is one of my favorite songs. “Cover Me “ is probably my favorite song altogether right now. That song really really gets me feeling some kind of way every time I listen to it. I mean I feel my heart doing things in my chest and it’s very hard to sing along without being all emotional about it. The video is really great. Love you guys! 💥🔫 ❤

[@FireMaskII]

Killed me that they didn't play this live last weekend! Great show but this is my absolute favorite jam

[@cassiyahsmith9940]

Oh man… my life is changed, I love this vibe 🖤🔥

"Ain't no use in burning witches When we die we're twice as vicious". Favorite lyrics, this song is fantastic. I loved the concept of the music video, spooky vibes for the win! 🖤
