We have gambled with the cards   The cards that have been dealt to us   But who knows how long the chips will last   When I look back to see through   Can see right to the inside   What an ugly picture it is   The flames of remorse still blacken families   It's been told in so many tales      My smiles and my sorrows   Have gotten me this far   But not without the wounds   My smiles and my sorrows   Have gotten me this far   But not without the wounds that have scarred   Starting to think that I have lost   What is real   What is real in this world      Can you decipher this madness it's the lottery   Play the lottery of life      My smiles and my sorrows   Have gotten me this far   But not without the wounds   My smiles and my sorrows   Have gotten me this far   But not without the wounds that have scarred   Starting to think that I have lost   What is real   What is real in this world      The prophecy of superstitions   Ridden with the plague of the soul   The prophecy of superstitions   Ridden with the plague of the mind and the soul      Murder of an ordinary story   Children fighting eye for eye   It's our anger that keeps us alive   The hate makes us survive
