Death is a liar and a cheat
And he'll do anything
To ensure your defeat
Now, gambling with Death
Is a game of chance already stacked
Forfeiting the wins you've already racked
Like shooting Craps against loaded dice
You're "all in" and your very life..... is the price
Take, for example, Russian Roulette
A cruel contest of shame and regret
Bemoaning what you've done and wished you hadn't
As well as what you hadn't and wished you had
And everytime the chamber clicks
Your heartbeat loses one more tick
So, when Death performs his double-crossing trick
You're left only one last leg with which to kick
And so, you realize
That in order to increase your chances
Before the last bullet, through the barrell, advances
That you've got to change your choices
As the ringing of Death's laughter voices
His utter contempt for your dismissal
And so, you point the gun,
Listening to the last round's eerie whistle......
That richochets through his brain
Because what was your "chance" to die
Became your "choice" to live.
And he'll do anything
To ensure your defeat
Now, gambling with Death
Is a game of chance already stacked
Forfeiting the wins you've already racked
Like shooting Craps against loaded dice
You're "all in" and your very life..... is the price
