I once held the table, kings in my hand
Built an empire on sand, thought I'd always stand
But the dice don't care, and the cards don't weep
I gambled my soul, and the debt runs deep
Now I'm pouring drinks with a hollow stare
Chained to a smile that was never fair
Alastor laughs, and I play along
But every shuffle just feels wrong
These are the cards I can't take back
A losing hand, a one-way track
Signed away my name for a fleeting thrill
Now I'm just his shadow, bent to his will
No ace, no mercy, no second chance
Just a rigged old game and a devil's dance
Used to fly high, feathers bright with flame
Now I drown in bottles just to numb the shame
Freedom was the prize, but I bet too high
Now my wings are clipped, and I can't deny
When he calls my name, I can't refuse
Green chains tighten, no way to choose
A sad drunk cat, that's all they see
But I still remember who I used to be
These are the cards I can't take back
A losing hand, a one-way track
Signed away my name for a fleeting thrill
Now I'm just his shadow, bent to his will
No ace, no mercy, no second chance
Just a rigged old game and a devil's dance
If I'd folded once, just walked away
Maybe I'd still have a soul today
But the house was hungry, and I fed the flame
Now Husk is just another name
These are the cards I can't take back
Every scar is a mark on the devil's track
Pour another drink, let the silence speak
The strong fall hard, and the weak stay weak
No ace, no mercy, no second chance
Just a rigged old game
And a devil's dance
Yeah, I gambled my soul
And lost it all
