Then the man stands in front of me.
He pinches his cards between his fingers.
Certtitude has deserted his life
While looking at his Full,
He hears sort of mob sound.
A dead-men Army call for him this night
The rules he knows from gambling
Odds pick you, then you go
To your fate, tonight.
Why it has to be me
Who kills by four kings
He taught me servant everything
And the winds blows around
From North to South
The Master sleeps tonight
Yes,so goes men's lives one morning
You loose the hand and then goodbye.
From a far Tower ring some bells.
Pulling a crayon from his pocket,
He's out to proove everything is not written down.
But his cheap hand can only
Give the paper these lonely
Two "l" and two "i", makin' Lili
Comes again the winter sister
The light of her eyes in the blizzard
She was far worthing my full
She had the Queen's beauty
The one that gives men strength and sorrow.
He lost, the King then dies.
And the winds blows around
From North to South
The Master sleeps tonight
Yes, so goes men's lives one morning
You loose the hand and then goodbye.
And i kill my very Master
Him who knew the virtues
Of this deadly dark game.
Now our cards fall down
Now his heart fails for ever
So long Lili, so long really.
And the winds blows around
From North to South
The Master sleeps tonight
Yes, so goes men's lives one morning
You loose the hand and then goodbye.
