[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? WHERE DID YOU BET? THE WHEEL SPINS 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…
