lyrics

One thing you should know if we’re playing this game
I never play by the rules
I’ll lie, I’ll cheat, I’ll burn your proof
To ensure that you lose
You’re entering an arena of pain, a coliseum of hate
A roulette with every chamber full
A black spade, death’s head, your cards been pulled

The system has failed
Your card’s been pulled
Our chaos prevails
You’ve all been fooled

Tricked by the lamb in a kingdom of snakes
Convinced again to raise the stakes
The very stakes at which you’ll burn
The final gamble, eternal lesson learned
You’re entering an arena of pain, a coliseum of hate
A roulette with every chamber full
A black spade, death’s head, your cards been pulled

The system has failed
Your card’s been pulled
Our chaos prevails
You’ve all been fooled

We pulled the wool
Right over your eyes
The dealer always wins
In the house built on lies
