The Red and The Black

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
The morals of life and the perils of deathTake the wrong way out running out of breathMeet my match in the afterlifeSuppress the demons that plague the nightA tortured mind is a safe place to goBut the truth lurks down in the dark belowStep inside my inquisitive mindAre you scared at what you just might findSee myself in the hall of mirrorsA different shape every step I takeA different mind every step of the lineBut in the end they are all mineLaughing sorrow inside your headCan't get out just a feeling of dreadI know this burden is a heavy loadA dark mist ake never ending roadThe black jack king and the red queen clashThe artful dodger he counts his stashThe joker's wild like an impish childWhile madame fortune she waits insideThe good luck charm is overkillThe tired old soldier says fire at willPlanes overhead go search destroyThe ones below human decoyI need somebody to save meMeanwhile we play the waiting gameThe clock is struck the horse is lameAnd when we think tha t this is doneChance your luck a four leafed oneYou hedge your bets the battle lostTo wait in vain and count the costThe thin edged lineBetween good and badAnd cast the luck be happy sadI need somebody to save meThe red and the blackPeople don't want the truthLook in their eyes and you send them awayThe red and the blackFate and hypocrisyBurden's a heavy load there is no doubtThe red and the blackAll out of luck againHow many chances can anyone haveThe red and the blackTreachery out to winThere in the wrong place and at the wrong timeI need somebody to save me
