The Angel and the Gambler |
Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel |
Out of your hands now, so how do you feel |
But you’re not gonna win, you’d better go back again |
Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared |
Take what luck brings and be devil may care |
But you’re down on your luck and what will the next day bring |
Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream |
Or lost in a maze, or blind in the haze |
So what does it matter, so why don’t you answer |
So why did you send an angel to mend |
Best make decisions before it’s too late |
Take all your chances take hold of the reins |
A roll of the dice, ahead of the game again |
Nothing to lose but so much to gain |
A little danger, it goes without saying |
But what do you care, you’re gonna go in the end |
Gate open to heaven is ready and waiting |
Or straight down to hell, can go there as well |
I’ll suffer my craving, my soul’s not worth saving |
So why don’t you go, just leave well alone |
Don’t you think I’m the saviour |
Don’t you think I could save you |
Don’t you think I could save your life |
(5:35-Solo: Dave Murray) |
(5:59-Solo: Janick Gers) |
There’s like a hunger that knocks on your door |
You’ve had a taste of it, still you want more |
You’ve made your mistakes, won’t play it the same again |
You have been warned but still you plunge in You play high stakes but there’s nothing to win |
You’ve only one life and so many things to learn |
The Angel on one side, the Devil the other |
