Game of Chance

Lyrics

(Verse 1:) Who holds the handle of that swinging axe we anticipate? Is it a twist a fate or something we instigate? Would it exist without a name or would it fade, making way for another spiritual theory to Fill its place? To further illustrate a belief in coincidence Filling us with wonder while we ponder its significance If all events are pre-determined and will eventually be embedded in memory Essentially this is destiny, what is meant to be it, will be Though we may wish it was down to you or up to me We must understand to leave it up to chance 1s to put it up in the hands of something with other plans Precisely what was it you spotted in the cloud formations? Blackjack, bust or four aces? Maybe it's a test of dexterity strength or patience The nature of this dangerous game that we're all placed in (Chorus:) We all are players in this game of chance Rolling the dice watching destiny dance Throughout another dreamscape, clutching a keepsake To keep us safe at the mercy of supreme fate There's no cheating in this game of chance Only roll the dice if you know the odds in advance As fate twists, make this the greatest of tricks When the cards on the table are flipped (Verse 2:) I collide with horoscopes, wander off the chosen track Just to be thrown back to fulfilling my position on the zodiac Envision a path, encrypted in the stars Written by the Moirai recited via tarot card And as fate would have it, met the brother Hunny B and he introduced me to a new habit I'm pretty sure I never got to tell you But if it wasn't for you, this kid would've never started rapping But who could've predicted that next horrific action The black day we lost you in the blink of an eyelid to violence and madness, what was it's lesson? What sick and twisted turn of events could let it happen? Circumstance would dictate in this place the worst case Ripple through the entire crew like an earthquake So unfair and unjust when we faced with The nature of this dangerous game that we all placed in (Chorus) (Verse 3:) You better get to grips make peace inside Never hang on to something you should leave behind Better do what you can to find peace of mind Whether you believe in evil or Jesus Christ You better cross and dot your t's and i's For even the cleanest life can be redesigned Better stop the clock and read the signs Cos lady luck be keeping watch with the keenest eyes You can conquer demons with the right frame of mind Or wind up in the wrong place at the wrong time And just when-you thinking life is good, better knock on wood Since we never could be certain of its likelihood It can smell fear, so never show that its there Never give it the satisfaction of knowing you scared When it's all said and done I'd rather let it all ride Than run and hide its line, just remember that (Chorus)
