Cards of Greed

(hahaha) Look at them play,

so clean,

so bright.

They wear the capes,

they strike the pose

How cute they look when the spotlight glows

I play the weakling,

the one who fell

While they take bows,

I build my shell (hehehe)

Throw me in the background,

leave me behind The deeper the dark,

the more I design

Every defeat was a step in the trap Now watch the board

snap.

I roll the dice but I own the game

Under the cover I feed the flame

Devour the sins and control the board Harvesting gold from your broken

sword (hahaha)

Am I the villain?

Am I the saint?

I follow rules that the righteous paint

Destroying the temple to save the ground

My quietest moves make the loudest sound

Go on, defeat me,

it's part of the play

Just more bait to wash you away.

One face is soft,

one face is cold

Seven deadly strings that I hold (shhh) I grow in the shade

of your bright parade.

Your heroics are so sweet... (hahaha)

I reap it all.
