Deck Of Illusions

I drifted along

Into the sun

The deserts harsh

When your done

The buzzards flew high in the sky

I met a jackal

And he told me

The secret to life



I cant escape

Im laying on the floor

My hearts racing

Im dying by the door

Eyes are rolling back into my head

Im hot and Im cold

I just cant leave

Im better off dead



Hell is such a game

Itll come and go

Does any one know?



The winds are blowing hard

Sand is drifting by

The jackal gave me a card

Its the Emperor

What does it mean to you?



The tiles are cold

I rolled on my side

Think I may have died

Illusions are growing old

Why oh why?



Hell is such a game

Itll come and go

Does any one know?



I gazed into the desert stars

The jackal had passed

Where did I get these scars



I think Ive met the end

I looked into the mirror

And I grinned



Oh Hell is such a game

Itll come and go

Does any one know?

Life is done

Broken like a shard

The jackal has passed

Where is his card?
