The Winner Takes It All (The Company Of Wolves Myth Version)
I don't wanna know
About things I've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Far gone history
I've played all their tune
In forest deep and blue
Nothing more to say
No more stakes to stay
The Company of Wolves
An outcast among the fools
Beside their victory
Empty destiny
I was in their midst
Thinking I'd belong there
I figured it made sense
Being an apprentice
Being a complete innocent
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by their rules
Their gods may throw down ice
A sin ever in their eyes
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
Travelin' round the seas
Without fearing the reefs
The grim and fog demands
Like Transylvanian lands
The Company of Wolves
Treading in quiet shoes
Yet it's just all in vain
Why do wounds still pain?
But tell me, do you miss
Like I miss you now?
Does it feel the same
When forest calls my name?
Somewhere deep inside
Forest echoes fall down
But what can I say?
Signs must be obeyed
The judges will decide
Death or a place to hide
Villagers of a hold
Shouting as they're told
The hunt is on again
To lose and miss a friend
A trophy or a rag-doll
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
This forest quiet and sad
And I understand
Wolves are close at hand
I apologize
If I trod where you had
Seeing the moon so dense
No path from doom hence
But you know
In the Company of Wolves
We were in the Company of Wolves

I don't wanna walk
Through the forest tonight
Low moon glowing dim
Low tones on the wind
I've walked through dark woods
And stayed hidden from sight
Nothing seeming real
Nothing I can feel
The company of wolves
The village fears to lose
Another soul so pure
No one's ever sure
They danced by smiling
Thinking all was safe there
But they were too worn down
By the tales from town
By the silent snow
Twas always beguiling
Never falling here
Mists displacing fear
The woods may clear the path
They don't sound out their wrath
Quiet when you're too small
The loss of it all
The company of wolves
The moonlight is a ruse
The simple times and age
Shadowing its rage
But far off skies are light
They know nothing of us
We're alone out here
All but disappeared
Somehow we'd be seen
If candlelight shines thus
But what do they say?
Tales are such this way
The darkness will subside
After it storms all night
A place centers a well
Where they hear the tale
The night comes in again
A whisper or low wind
Full moon now high above
Cloaked in night is enough
I don't wanna speak
If the tale seems too dark
Trees stand listening
Their keepers gone missing
I feel very sad
So much was lost for naught
Forest paths so dense
No safety it lends
But you hear,
The company of wolves
The company of wolves
(So the moonlight - Shines all night
And the quiet - Sounds which fall
Clear the path - Sound their wrath
You're too small - Of it all
The moonlight - Shines all night
Yes it's sad - lost for naught)

The Winner Takes It All (Lost Version) or
The Land of the Lost (The Winner Takes It All)
My name was Holly
The only thing I had
In a world long lost
In a world known not
We fell beyond time
And so we came at last
To an unknown place
Some forgotten age
The winner takes it all
In dark we took the fall
A mighty earthquake rose
Where the river flows
At first it was fine
I began feeling safe
I saw with starry eyes
A green paradise
It felt like a home
Three moons over the cave
But it was so vague
The peril too strange
The land where we were lost
The place we never sought
And somehow way down here
Loss becomes our fear
The winner takes it all
Some unknown victor's call
To take us far away
From lives we had made
Just tell me, does it show
A soft light from the sun?
I just want to see
If it moves to me
Like the light I knew
You must feel the same one
The same warmth it gives
But in clouds it lives
The objects forming round
Sleek crystals from the ground
Canyons of colors glow
Like lights far below
The time is static here
A prehistoric sphere
Cave and tree, stone and wall
The winner takes it all
I cannot explain
Memories drifting slow
Recalled with a sigh
I've seen the tears you cry
I can see the pain
Escape we'll never know
Crumbling upon sand
Silent unsafe land
The winner takes it all
In dark we took the fall
A mighty earthquake rose
Where the river flows
In the land of the lost
In the land of the lost
(So the winner takes it all
And through the earth we did fall
So the winner takes it all
And through the earth we did fall)

The Winner Takes It All (Ring of Doom Version)
In dark unknown dreams
Something silent awoke
Through ages long gone
Through tales and a song
Hope is lost it seems
And my thoughts never spoke
Of a legend true
Now drawn from the blue
The thunder sounds to all
Dark skies suddenly fall
A golden ring was found
A fate to which we're bound
Dwelling safely sound
By fires warm and sleepy
Flowers and trees blooming
But shadows looming
Began slowly to fall
Sinking in so deeply
But I was so numb
Knowing what would come
The lords may cast a light
Stars shine through forest night
Small feet travel so far
Bearing Morgul scar
The Ring of Doom to all
Hearing its master's call
It's calling through the rain
Then you feel the pain
Tell me if you recall
The sun back in the day
When we'd walk a path
From meadows and laugh
Somewhere deep inside
You must know the long way
Strained the memory
Passing far from me
The mountain will send flame
We'll see and know its name
Where we will meet our end
Nae! Govano ven
The thunder rumbles near
Deafening beats I hear
A golden ring so small
The Dark Lord takes it all
I can barely breathe
Smoke and ash fill the air
And I try to stand
Because you take my hand
I feel very weak
It's so heavy to bear
And all consuming
What life we're losing
Past recall,
The Ring of Doom to all
The Ring of Doom to all

The Winner Takes It All (End Times Gladiator Version)
I don't feel the same
It's hard what we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played in the game
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in belief
Thinking I belonged there
The figures made no sense
Your word for defense
Building up my hopes
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was so fooled
The chains of the ruled
The Gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses all that's dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
when she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You know I can't miss you
Never had a say
Never did you stay
The judges will decide
No choice of me aside
Spectators up on rows
Always pointing low
The name is called again
An enemy, not a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
It all makes me feel sad
And I understand
You've come but hold no hand
I apologize
For seeing all that's bad
Seeing all so dense
No real luminance
But you see,
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

The Winner Takes It All (False Final Days Version) or
For Another Thousand Years (The Winner Takes It All)
I just couldn't talk
Now's the time for reflection
This was never my time
Makes no sense, no rhyme
In Last Days we walk
That for us always mention
Though it's destiny
Now bleak history
Another thousand years
Time never sees the tears
Though we've lived still it's plain
We may wait in vain
You watch over all
From a celestial stance
Always from afar
From another star
In time there's a lull
Was everything by chance?
Was it ever close?
It's a long repose
But the dice had been thrown
Fell in a deaf'ning tone
Hidden by the sun's glare
The truth was out there
For another thousand years
Time will play on your fears
There's no escape why run?
The drift has begun
But tell me do you know
How I raced to the door?
Sure-footed and fast
Along crumbling tracks
If you always knew
The timing in this war
You've hidden it well
For no one could tell
And the decades have gone
But years are dragging on
A wave forming a wall
Dark is how they fall
Another thousand years
Tomorrow never nears
One day is never named
The memory's still the same
I don't talk of this
No one would understand
The depth of sorrow
And there's no one to know
There's something I miss
But slips away like sand
From beyond the sea
A bleak history
Another thousand years
Another thousand years
(For another thousand years
And time will play on your fears
Just a few days ago
Beyond the sea, history
Thousand years, none to know)
