Hand of Cards
He knows not what his actions mean
All he wanted was to be seen
Darkness grew for he was bored
Have mercy oh my lord
Twisted mind and anger felt
Blaming the hand for him dealt
Luck was out annoyed he roared
Have mercy oh my lord
Punches swapped without a thought
A bigger win was what he sought
Was it any wonder he was floored
Have mercy oh my lord
He knows the wrongs that he has done
Seeking thrills searching for fun
Gambling lifestyle struck a chord
Have mercy oh my lord
