Rough Silk - The Roll of the Dice lyrics

I once believed in magic - in the beauty of it all In honesty – in love and trust - but slowly came the fall. The winter k**ed the friendly colors and the air got cold As ice And red got blue – and rusty, too - that's the roll of the Dice. Well, the first cut is the deepest - that's what they Always say But in my case each one hurts a little bit - maybe that's The price I have to pay For all the wrong roads I 've chosen - against everyone's Good advice For all the hearts I've broken since I first watched the Roll of the dice. We walk barefoot on the ashes - Stumble through forgotten Lies Slowly aimless fortune crashes - down from bloodred Burning skies. Distant thunder – silence - lightning – I fell asleep With open eyes Sometimes gentle - sometimes frightning - the roll of the Dice I've always been a searcher – a seeker for the truth Restless and forsaken - with nothing left to lose. I've always been on my way out and most of my life alone. I never knew where I was going - never had a place to call My home. That's the roll of the dice We walk barefoot on the ashes - Stumble through forgotten Lies Slowly aimless fortune crashes - down from bloodred Burning skies. Distant thunder – silence - lightning – I fell asleep With open eyes Sometimes gentle - sometimes frightning - the roll of the Dice I don't know where I came from and I don't know where I'll End And maybe when it's over I will finally understand All the words I've ever spoken – all the selfish stupid Cries All the reasons lost in the flood and the roll of the dice That's the roll of the dice I once believed in magic - in the beauty of it all In honesty – in love and trust - but slowly came the fall. The winter k**ed the friendly colors and the air got cold As ice And red got blue – and rusty, too - that's the roll of the Dice.
