Ten of Swords Lyrics by Vitali

Shadows Deep

2019

Weaving a story, the context important
The death is apparent, addiction is constant
Scars are reminders, deceivers and liars
Inspire me to leave things that once were ours
This all brings me sadness, my life now polluted
The joy is a dream that the bottle colluded
My blight seen as sweetness and light
As I erase the pain for this night
Oh, hear me, oh queen of despair
Wait for you to give love in return
I promise here I'll remain
While you deceive me again and again
Hear me, oh queen of defeat
Wait for you to mislead on repeat
I promise here I'll remain
While you deceive me again and again and again
I had nothing to lose, so I had nothing to bet
And the patrons amused looked at the noose round my neck
And the debt on my head hanging too heavy
Like a crown on a king who knows betrayal already
In the grand scheme of things, things aren't so dire
Just a pariah playing with fire
The judge is angry looking from higher to judge me
Judge, indulge, crush me, or bite me
Hopelessness shows, like the ten of swords
While alcohol severs my cords and my thoughts
And the queen, distorts to no end, and no end in sight
The knight ready to be sacrificed out of spite
Let it be known I tried, and I tried, and failed
I scaled walls, sailed rough seas, I played her game
I guess, in principle, I feel my story overran
No more reason to keep me from crashing on the ground
Those that believe in me are now weary and few
Need no advice or pity, from the rest of you
So, before you leave love, take your remorse
Yours truly, sincerely, the dark horse, now lost
