Roulette of the Damned

[Intro – atmospheric tremolo + crashing drums] Whispers of shuffling… The wheel turns, the night devours… Verse 1 What cards did you draw from the deck of ash? A joker’s grin, a queen in a funeral sash. Blood‑stained jokers, aces forged in fire, The dealer’s smile is a razor‑sharp liar. Cold steel on the table, fate’s iron clench, Your pulse a metronome, a dying trench. Every deal is a wound, every cut a scar, The house never sleeps, it feeds on who you are. Pre‑Chorus Listen— the roulette spins, a feral scream, Red‑black‑death, a nightmare that won’t dream. Chorus (screamed) WHAT CARD DID YOU BET, WHAT FATE DID YOU CLAIM? THE BALL IS FALLING, THE REAPER’S IN PLAY! LIFE IS A ROULETTE, A BLAST OF CHAOS, BET ON THE VOID, LET THE DARKNESS GROW! Verse 2 Where did you place your bet on the shattered throne? On cracked porcelain hearts or bones turned to stone? The dealer—time—grins with a thousand teeth, His dice are skulls, his hand is death’s wreath. You wagered sanity, you wagered soul, Each spin a sermon, each thud a black hole. The wheel’s metallic howl, a thunderous roar, Your scream gets swallowed by the casino floor. Bridge (half‑growl, half‑spoken) “All or nothing, the abyss calls—” A siren of steel, a promise that stalls. Bet on the night, bet on the scream, The house always wins, the nightmare’s supreme. Breakdown (drum blast, low‑tuned chugs) WHAT CARD DID YOU PLAY? – shout WHERE DID YOU BET? – roar THE WHEEL SPINS— guttural scream The ball lands— BLACK! Your breath – GONE! Outro (slow, crushing riff, fading echo) The roulette slows, the lights dim low, Your deck is empty, the house—your shadow. A final card slips, torn from your chest, Life’s cruel gamble—eternally possessed. Silence shatters as the wheel clicks shut— …and the damned keep playing…
