	Lost in the cosmos An ancient sea This sinking vessel Charging like a kamikaze Last words spoken Praying for humanity Commander’s calling Whispering soft words of peace And we ask... What does it mean to be a man? Growing up with blood on your hands Shirk our problems, launched at friends It’s just a game, shut our eyes and pretend The rising pressure Is tearing apart Childish memories Stars and gates and gates and stars Today our angel A slave to take charge Til ashes settle Illuminating hidden scars And we ask... What does it mean to be a man? Growing up with blood on your hands Shirk our problems, launched at friends It’s just a game, shut our eyes and pretend Think we’ve finally reached the edge Just a mind game’s illusion Find a way to circumvent It’s just a game, shut our eyes and pretend It’s just a game, It’s just a game, It’s just a game Shut our eyes and pretend... It’s just a game, It’s just a game, It’s just a game For one gate they defend... It’s just a game..... [And it’s out of our hands...] Just one way it can end... It’s just a game, It’s just a game, It’s just a game It’s Ender’s Game...

about

I wrote this song originally hoping to get it into the end-credits of the upcoming Ender's Game film. Please help me share the love by spreading the word. :-) I have a youtube music video for it too at www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=UQjWFo5alac&ns=1

I've made the song free for download, but I'm only given a certain amount of downloads a month on here without having to pay for more, so entering more than zero for the price is always appreciated (but not necessary).

Darian Robbins did the amazing artwork on this. He's done some other super-awesome Ender's Game artwork which you can check out at artofdarian.blogspot.com

Questions about the song? I'd love to answer them. Feel free to contact me at noah@noahsilvermusic.com .
