**Why Why Why Why** Why did I follow you? And why did I listen to you? (**Why, O Why O why, O Why**) Why did I trust in you? (In my pain) Why did I go to you? (Well I've been changed) You can, you can, You can try But I've got some news for you (I've got news; I'm through with you) Listen, now I'm done with you I'm sick of your game I don't want to play My time with you is done So just go away I've got news for you (This is long past due) And punk, I'm done with you (Devil, I am through) I am sick of your game I don't wanna play My time with you is done So just go away I am not your slave I've got the key to your chains By the Blood I was saved So, devil, no more games That's right, I'm done with your game I'm not going to play I have felt your pain And Jesus is the way Sin, you've had your fun But now I'm free And this is done (If you were smart Then you would run) I've got the key God sent his Son You came after me Now I'm coming after you You took over like a **** But, see, now my heart is new You're still chasing after me I do not belong to you I am done with your games I'm not going to play I'm not following you I know Jesus is the way You came after me Now I'm coming after you And today now you will see What I'm gonna do to you I'll expose your lies And I'll cut your ties I will spread the Truth And you will be despised Light will burn your ships And it will melt your chains Oh, you made me sick But I am not the same I am done with your game I have found the way (Now whatch'you gotta say, devil, whatch'you gotta say?) You came after me Now I'm coming after you You should run, now, when you see What I'm gonna do to you I'll expose your lies (Yeah, I'm coming back at you) I will cut your ties (I am gonna scream the truth) I have played your game And you had me asking why But I am free of your chains And your turn has come to cry You came after me (Now I've been set free) Now I finally see (Soon the world will see) It's time for you to flee (You've no power over me) 'Cause only God has victory I said only God has victory (and soon the world will see) That only He has victory Every tongue and every knee One day all the world will see That **only God has victory** You've no power over me **Only God has victory** So, devil, listen to me I've been freed from your chains See, **only God has victory** So, devil,        No. More. Games.

|Written April 8th, 2011| *from my Ignite collection, being poem #3. Please see the collection page itself. P.S. I made a mistake in the order when I originally posted this. This was written the day before "Alive", and so should come first. I wrote this one with some musical intention, but finished it in a form that didn't fully work for a song. I tried later refining it more into a working song form, i.e. with a fluid, consistent verse/chorus format, and while there are some ideas I like, I haven't got far in making progress on the true song version of this one, and have had trouble sorting it all out in a way that I like that feels natural and works. The imagery of an army's ships being burned while docked on enemy shores was still fresh in my mind from reading Homer's The Illiad the previous year in Language Arts. © 2017 A.D. Sifford. I'm okay with you sharing my poems, but I ask that you show courtesy. Please be honest about the authorship by attributing it to my name. Thank you, - Sifford
