Risk Letra

Sand slides through the stranger's hand

As he deals the game.

All the candles are burning low

No more cradles and no more snow

Bet your life on a lucky roll

Play your queen, you could win your soul,

Stakes are high you can live or die

To risk everything.



In your goblet the wine is black

As a moonless night

Wet your lips before you kiss

The blazing light

Bets are off but the game is on,

Drop the armor you counted on

All your armies are fled and gone

Win your king, you can play your pawn

Take your time, you have just begun

To risk everything.



Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't regret what you did to live

Don't forget that you must forgive

To risk everything.



Through the window you see the storm

That is gathering,

Painted gypsies on dappled horses are galloping

Through the trees in the howling wind

Down the hills to the river bend

Shadow ghosts that are blind as night

Shrieking curses against the night,

Daring you to come join their flight

And risk everything.



Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't regret what you did to live

Don't forget that you must forgive

To risk everything.



There is nothing to hold you now

To your fault or mine

Fallen idols and martyred souls

Are the only kind

Feet of clay in the emerald skies

Birds of prey when the dreamer dies

Perfect crosses perfect your lies

Burning saints in the flaming skies

Bet your life every promise dies

All that's left for you to try

Is risking everything.



Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't regret what you did to live

Don't forget that you must forgive

To risk everything.



Oooo, Oooo



Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't regret what you did to live

Don't forget that you must forgive.

To risk everything.



Time slips by in the hourglass

You can hear your name

Sand slides through the stranger's hand

As he deals the game.

All the candles are burning low

No more cradles and no more snow

Bet your life on a lucky roll

Play your queen, you could win your soul,

Stakes are high you can live or die

To risk everything.



Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't regret what you did to live

Don't forget that you must forgive

To risk everything.
