Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey! Look-... in the black! The morals of life, then the perils of death Take the wrong way out running out of breath Meet my chance in the afterlife Suppress the demon that spread the night Tortured mind is a safe place to go But the truth lurks down like in depths below Step, don't run, by inquisitive mind Scared at what you just might find Oh yeah?! See myself in the hall of mirrors A different shape every step I take Different mind every step of the line [But?] in the end they are all mine Torturing me [-/but/like/right?] inside my head Can't [keep/be?] free, just feeling of dread Know this burden's a heavy load Dark mistake never ending road I need somebody to save me The black jack king and the red queen clash The artful dodger, he counts his stash The joker's wild like an impish child While madame fortune, she waits inside The good luck charm's like overkill The tired old soldier says fire at will Planes overhead go search destroy [The/Bo/Boh?] one below human decoy I need somebody to save me Meanwhile Meanwhile we play the waiting game The clock is struck, the horse is lame And so we play that this is one You chance your luck a four leafed one You hedge your bets the battle lost To wait in vain and count the cost The thin edge line 'Tween good and bad And cast your luck be happy sad I need somebody to save me Here we go! The red and the black People don't want the truth Look in their eyes as they tell you away The red and the black Fate and hypocrisy Burden - a heavy load, there is no doubt The red and the black All out of luck again How many chances can anyone have A red and the black Treachery out to win All in the wrong place and at the wrong time I need somebody to save me
