I once held the table, kings in my hand Built an empire on sand, thought I'd always stand But the dice don't care, and the cards don't weep I gambled my soul, and the debt runs deep Now I'm pouring drinks with a hollow stare Chained to a smile that was never fair Alastor laughs, and I play along But every shuffle just feels wrong These are the cards I can't take back A losing hand, a one-way track Signed away my name for a fleeting thrill Now I'm just his shadow, bent to his will No ace, no mercy, no second chance Just a rigged old game and a devil's dance Used to fly high, feathers bright with flame Now I drown in bottles just to numb the shame Freedom was the prize, but I bet too high Now my wings are clipped, and I can't deny When he calls my name, I can't refuse Green chains tighten, no way to choose A sad drunk cat, that's all they see But I still remember who I used to be These are the cards I can't take back A losing hand, a one-way track Signed away my name for a fleeting thrill Now I'm just his shadow, bent to his will No ace, no mercy, no second chance Just a rigged old game and a devil's dance If I'd folded once, just walked away Maybe I'd still have a soul today But the house was hungry, and I fed the flame Now Husk is just another name These are the cards I can't take back Every scar is a mark on the devil's track Pour another drink, let the silence speak The strong fall hard, and the weak stay weak No ace, no mercy, no second chance Just a rigged old game And a devil's dance Yeah, I gambled my soul And lost it all
