[Intro]
Queen of Spades
In the dark part of the deck
Face down
Waiting for a careless bet
[Verse 1]
I cut the cards
Leave one turned wrong
Black crown
On a neck too long
Cold ring
On a stranger’s hand
You blink
And forget where you stand
[Chorus]
Queen of Spades
You called my name
I never prayed
You drew my breath
And wrote it in the ash you made
Queen of Spades
You don’t forgive
You just invade
I see your eyes
In every shadow that I trade
[Verse 2]
Glass eyes
Watch from velvet walls
Soft laugh
In the mirrored halls
You say
“Every wish has teeth”
One kiss
Pulls the floor from beneath
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “pick a card”
But my hands won’t move
You say “take a chance”
And the room unglues
[Chorus]
Queen of Spades
You called my name
I never prayed
You drew my breath
And wrote it in the ash you made
Queen of Spades
You don’t forgive
You just invade
I see your eyes
In every shadow that I trade
[Bridge]
[Drop hits – vocal dry
Close
Almost whispered over brutal groove]
Deal me in
Then deal me out (oh)
Fold my voice
Inside your mouth
No escape
Just emptied veins
No more hearts
Only Spades
[Chorus]
Queen of Spades
You called my name
I never prayed
You drew my breath
And wrote it in the ash you made
Queen of Spades
You keep the soul
Return the face
Turn me to dust
And shuffle me through outer space
