Not gonna be the better man today
Not gonna wish well on you, my friend
Won’t be saying all the prayers that you need
Today, no one is asking for demands
Maybe you’ll learn to walk again, I hope you don’t
You’ll hate and bleed, come that time I won’t kneel down for you
Once again you disappear
Once again my conscience wins
My jokers dance over your life
Your game seems to fade; your lie seals your fate
All those puppets betting on your fall
It’s a death casino roll the dice
Were you ever free? Were you ever on top of the world?
I guess your crown is falling down like an old
stain on my wall
Your kings and queens are folding out
I see you’re not the ace you thought you were
Your heart ain’t red is turning black Just count the cards this is your final hand, I swear
Once again you disappear
Once again my conscience wins
My jokers dance over your life
Your game seems to fade; your lie seals your fate
All those puppets betting on your fall
It’s a death casino roll the dice
Somewhere I know you’re still unable to face
The fact that my lucky 7 brought down all of your bets
This game, the end; your grave, I smile; my rage, I win
This death casino killed the last of your shows
This death casino rolled the dice to your end
My jokers dance over your life
It’s a death casino roll the dice
Your game seems to fade; your lie seals your fate
All those puppets betting on your fall
It’s a death casino final call
It’s a death casino roll the dice
