The Gambit
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.
So you think you've got what it takes?
You've made up your mind?
You're ready to raise up the stakes
And leave all behind?
I've been to hell and returned
I can show you the way
Give you a map that has cost men their lives
What do you say?
But there's only so much I can teach you
Before your time runs out
So if you are ever to get there
You know what you need to know
Now go!
Pay the ferryman an extra penny
You've get to make haste
There's no time to lose
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
I see the fear in your eyes
But don't be afraid
I don't think you do realise
What's coming your way
A man who has nothing to lose will
Still have all to gain
Now, there's nothing left but to wish you
Godspeed on your way
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit
Are you willing to pay the price?
You should be aware, at the sight of those gates
The blood of most men turns to ice
Just go!
Pay the ferryman an extra penny
You've get to make haste
There's no time to lose
Add splashing, darkness crashing in on you
Enter the gates of hell
To dice with the devil for fortune and fame
Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit
Are you willing to pay the price?
The table is set, the bets have been placed
It's time to roll the dice
