In the shadows where the cards are dealt
Where whispers linger and fortunes are knelt
A tale unfolds of a game so dark
Where hearts are broken in the devil's park
War rages on in the dead of night
As hearts and spades prepare for the fight
Ladies of fortune with aces up their sleeve
In the poker den where souls deceive
Poker and war, a deadly dance
With whiskey as poison
And chewing dreams
In the flicker of the candle's light
The joker grins, hiding in plain sight
Clubs and diamonds, aces low and high
In the game of chance, where winners die
Poker and war, a deadly dance
With whiskey as poison
And chewing dreams
Crosses mark the graves of those who fell
In the battle of wits, where souls dwell
Kings and queens, they rule the night
In the poker game, where wrong is right
As the dawn breaks, the players disperse
Leaving behind the echoes of their curse
In the silence of the morning dew
Another game begins, with fortunes anew
As the dawn breaks, the players disperse
Leaving behind the echoes of their curse
In the silence of the morning dew
Another game begins, with fortunes anew
