You know I'm born to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace of Spades
Stoneface dog, swirling fog,
gates open on the dark dark night.
Standing stone, skull and bone,
dead witness to an unseen fight.
Beat the drum, beat the drum,
beat forever on the endless march.
Stricken dumb, cut and run,
someone is screaming and the sky is dark...
March or croak, flame and smoke,
burn forever in eternal pain.
Charge and fall, bugle call,
bone splinter in the driving rain,
Horses scream, Viking dream,
drowned heroes in a lake of blood.
Armoured fist, severed wrist,
broken spears in a sea of mud...
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin,
Deaf forever to the battles din,
Deaf forever to the battles din,
Deaf forever, stone deaf forever.
Mother earth, mother earth
enfold you in her cold embrace.
Sinking down, killing ground,
worm crawling on your cold white face.
Win or lose, nought to choose,
all men are equal when their memory fades.
No one knows, friends or foes,
if Valhalla lies beyond the grave...
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace оf Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit,
Double stake or split,
The Ace оf Spades
Midnight, midnight,
Midnight beat the drum,
Black night, black night,
Black night, cut and run,
Slaughter, slaughter,
Slaughter, flee your bed,
Quarter, no quarter,
No quarter, don't lose your head,
Fighting in the west,
Fighting in the east,
Fighting like a beast,
You must stand and Fight,
Fight, Fight, Fight,
Fight, make it right,
Fight, Fight,
Fighting, fighting,
Fighting, for your life,
Riding, riding,
Riding, endless nights,
Laughing, laughing,
Laughing, to our death,
Laughing, laughing,
Laughing, to our final breath,
Reaver, reaver,
Reaver, riding fast,
Believer, believer,
Believer, loyal to the last,
Faithful, faithful,
Faithful, to our creed,
Soldier, till it's over,
Till it's over, everything we need,
Fighting to the last,
Fighting to the death,
Your last dying breath,
You must stand and Fight,
Fight, Fight, Fight,
Fight, make it right,
Fight, Fight,
Fight, stand and Fight,
Stand and Fight, stand and Fight,
Make it right, stand and Fight,
You must Fight, Fight,
You motherfucker
