Solitaire Lyrics

Cards laid bare, whispers in the night

Dancing shadows, eerie light

Demons fly as windows break

Hell unleashed, no escape

In the first quadrant, truth is sworn

Symbols of restless years

Sold to desire, love poems worn

Solitaire, not without its fears

You promise truth, a fight for right

I bet it all on the queen of hearts

Living on borrowed time

I might, Never be stopped by familiar parts

Slim fingers dance, the smoke returns

Waxen lips, a kiss that burns

The second quadrant's power and noise

Sometimes songs have power more than tanks

Public shows for all the lost boys

Swallowed by the night, evermore

You promise me fame

With a heavy cost

Underworld sprite says, "Live and let be."

Your world can be rose-colored gloss

Any shade you want, just wish and see

Slim fingers dance, trams hum outside

A cheap dream in a glass, can't hide

Cards laid bare, whispers in the night

Dancing shadows, eerie light

Demons fly as windows break

Hell unleashed, no escape

The third quadrant crushes dreams

Wine quenches a burning home

Illusions fall with plaster seams

Old dust caught in attic's dome

Survivors lose all their fears

Canvases stained with blood, a blaze

You gave up deals, who are you, dear?

Harder than stone, in death's gaze

Slim fingers carve signs in my palm

Symbols unknown, no alphabet's balm

Cards laid bare, whispers in the night,

Dancing shadows, eerie light.

Demons fly as windows break,

Hell unleashed, no escape.

The fourth quadrant

The witch's ring

Demons press through shattered pane

On the table, phone in flames sing

The fortune teller, gripped by pain

You promise me hell, it's easy to say

Few might flinch, I know my fate

Bad luck's a shame, none want to stay

Your threats are void, I won't break

Slim fingers trace long nails on skin

Porcelain gleams

Vitrines within

Splintered doors

Shattered light

Solitaire scattered in the night

Cards laid bare, whispers in the night

Dancing shadows, eerie light

Demons fly as windows break

Hell unleashed, no escape
