The Red and the Black |
| The morals of life and the perils of death |
| Take the wrong way out running out of breath |
| Meet my match in the afterlife |
| Suppress the demons that plague the night |
| A tortured mind is a safe place to go |
| But the truth lurks down in the dark below |
| Step inside my inquisitive mind |
| Are you scared at what you just might find |
| See myself in the hall of mirrors |
| A different shape every step I take |
| A different mind every step of the line |
| But in the end they are all mine |
| Laughing sorrow inside your head |
| Can’t get out just a feeling of dread |
| I know this burden’s a heavy load |
| A dark mistake never ending road |
| The black jack king and the red queen clash |
| The artful dodger he counts his stash |
| The joker’s wild like an impish child |
| While madame fortune she waits inside |
| The good luck charm is overkill |
| The tired old soldier says fire at will |
| Planes overhead go search destroy |
| The ones below human decoy |
| I need somebody to save me |
| Meanwhile we play the waiting game |
| The clock is struck the horse is lame |
| And when we think that this is done |
| Chance your luck a four leafed one |
| You hedge your bets the battle lost |
| To wait in vain and count the cost |
| The thin edged line |
| Between good and bad |
| And cast the luck be happy sad |
| I need somebody to save me |
| The red and the black |
| People don’t want the truth |
| Look in their eyes and you send them away |
| The red and the black |
| Fate and hypocrisy |
| Burden’s a heavy load there is no doubt |
| The red and the black |
| All out of luck again |
| How many chances can anyone have |
| The red and the black |
| Treachery out to win |
| There in the wrong place and at the wrong time |
| I need somebody to save me |
