Black 13

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Darkness, your surest bet Wage of sin and blood roulette Laying the odds against your gods High stakes and no regrets No parlay in this game of hell Lose your soul and they'll sound the knell Nothing ventured nothing gained The cards foretell [Chorus] The stakes unclean Through black 13 Whenever you decide You're gonna let it ride [Verse 2] Salvation, a game of chance Roll of the dice at the devil's dance Speculate and tempt your fate Life paid in advance Double down and pull one more Even money, you even the score Can't renege you pay the vig You're spoken for [Chorus] The stakes unclean Through black 13 Whenever you decide You're gonna let it ride [Solo: Gary] [Solo: Lee] [Verse 3] Eternity on the money line Cloven one pulls three of a kind You bet the spread and end up dead Too late to change your mind You went all in, didn't hedge your bets Dark bookmaker collects all debts Death begets the devil's hand The wheel resets [Chorus] The stakes unclean Through black 13 Whenever you decide You're gonna let it ride
