The Loaded Dice

Verse 1 I learned early Luck don’t come clean It cuts both ways Leaves scars in between Coin in my pocket Blade at my side You call it madness I call it a ride They pray for safety I pray for a chance If fate’s a table I’ll make it dance Pre-Chorus They say don’t bet what you can’t replace But I’ve never trusted a safe space Chorus I roll the dice so others don’t bleed Take the fall, do what they need If fortune smiles, if fortune parts I’ll stake my life — Amelia Heart Luck’s a liar, luck’s a flame Burns the weak, crowns the brave I don’t ask if I’ll survive I just ask — who gets out alive Verse 2 Gold-stained hands Silk-robed kings Selling mercy For prettier things Paper laws and bought-out saints Halo cracked, whitewashed paint They call it order I call it rot Someone’s got to break the knot Pre-Chorus 2 Tymora laughs when the odds look grim Says, “Double down — or fold like them.” Chorus I roll the dice so others don’t bleed Take the fall, do what they need If fortune smiles, if fortune parts I’ll stake my life — Amelia Heart Luck’s a liar, luck’s a flame Burns the weak, crowns the brave I don’t ask if I’ll survive I just ask — who gets out alive Bridge (Drop / Breakdown) Heads they profit Tails I burn Every lesson Hard-earned, learned If I fall I fall forward If I stand I stand defiant Let the corrupt Choke on prayer Luck’s watching I don’t care (beat drops hard here) Final Chorus I roll the dice so others can breathe Stand in front of what they fear to see If the world breaks, if hearts fall apart I’ll be the risk — Amelia Heart Luck’s a blade and I hold it tight Cut through dark, don’t need the light I don’t kneel, I don’t hide I bet it all — every time Outro Coin spins Blade hums Luck laughs And I run
