Blood on the Dice
Verse 1
Neon buzz in a backroom haze (yeah)
Green felt breathing like a live grenade
Pocket full of hope, (heart full of ice)
Every smile here got a hidden price
Hands keep shaking but the face stay calm
Luck’s a liar with a loaded palm
Pre-Chorus
Mama said don’t tempt the flame (don’t tempt it)
Devil grins when you say his name
Chorus
Blood on the dice, hear fate roll loud (roll loud)
Snake eyes smiling in a hungry crowd
Every throw cuts twice,( no alibi)
Pray to the ceiling while the numbers lie
Win it tonight or you pay it in pain
Blood on the dice when you gamble with fate
Verse 2
Chips stack high like a borrowed throne
Every king here stands alone
(Friends turn ghosts when the cards go cold)
Promises fold when the stakes get bold
Clock ticks slower with every bet
Future’s a debt you ain’t paid yet
Pre-Chorus
Cold cash talking, angels mute (so quiet)
Luck got teeth and a mean dispute
Chorus
Blood on the dice, hear fate roll loud (roll loud)
Snake eyes smiling in a hungry crowd
(Every throw cuts twice, no alibi)
Pray to the ceiling while the numbers lie
Win it tonight or you pay it in pain
Blood on the dice when you gamble with fate
Bridge
House got rules, mercy none (no mercy)
(Loaded prayers in a smoking gun)
One last roll, hear the siren sing
Rich man dreams on a broken string
Chorus
Blood on the dice, feel the room hold breath (hold breath)
Fortune flirting with a kiss of death
Every throw cuts twice, truth don’t hide
Luck flips faces,( picks a side)
Win it tonight or you pay it in pain
Blood on the dice when you gamble with fate
Outro
Table clears, dawn creeps in
Count the scars, not the wins
Neon fades, lesson priced
Blood on the dice… paid in life (yeah)
