Lyrics
Black 13
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Darkness, your surest bet
Wage of sin and blood roulette
Laying the odds against your gods
High stakes and no regret
No parlay in this game of hell
Lose your soul, they sound the knell
Nothing ventured nothing gained
The cards foretell
The stakes unclean
Through black 13
Whenever you decide
You're gonna let it ride
Salvation, a game of chance
Roll of the dice, the devil's dance
Speculate and tempt your fate
Life paid in advance
Double down and pull one more
Even money you even the score
Can't renege you pay the vig
You're spoken for
The stakes unclean
Through black 13
Whenever you decide
You're gonna let it ride
Eternity on the money line
Cloven one pulls three of a kind
You bet the spread and end up dead
Too late to change your mind
You went all in, didn't hedge your bets
Dark bookmaker collects all debts
Death begets the devil's hand
The wheel resets
The stakes unclean
Through black 13
Whenever you decide
You're gonna let it ride
