Cutting the Cards - Arena

Some bitter puppeteer tore away my right to choose

Dealt me shit instead of cards

Watched me bluffing from the start

Some warring cavalier rode the truth into the ground

Dragged me screaming by the feet

Left me sprawling in defeat

Right — right to the end

We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

Some deep deluded author wrote new chapters in my life

Threw my hat into the ring

Let the lady start to sing

So here we face each other, in the blackness of the night

I don’t care how it appears

This ends now, this ends here

Right — right to the end

We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

I can read your mind — Your future’s so defined

Beware you’ve crossed the line this time

Are you so sure of what you’ll find

A victim of your lies

A witness to your own demise

There’s nowhere else to turn

Right — right to the end

We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

I can feel your craving — The way that you behave

I can hear the thunder roll

The pleading of a million souls

You’ve done this to yourself

You’ve done this to yourself

There’s nowhere else to turn

Right — right to the end

We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

And you know, yes you know

We can’t survive alone… on our own!
