Dark Luck

I found the deck on a smoke room floor

Whispers in corners, “Take more, take more”

Hopeful sparks danced in my hand

A fleeting fortune I could barely understand

Every roll feels heavier than before

Luck twists, it plots, it drags me toward

A depth — of shadowed visions

Dice spin fast, fiends arise

I chase my fate through haunted skies

Doors opened wide, the night obeyed

Friends smiled, lovers lingered, fortune swayed

Mirrors cracked with a whispering sound

Every prize I claimed was already bound

The odds weigh heavy, the shuffled pack cold

The win grants gold, but steals untold

Specters pull me into shattered dreams

Dice spin fast, night terrors loom

I chase my fate through haunted skies

I tried to cheat, I tried to bend

The phantoms only laughed in the end

Every gain a knife, every smile a lie

The deck is stacked, I can’t deny

Dice spin fast, fiends arise

I chase my fate through haunted skies

Fortune slips, the night devours

I won the game—but lost my hours

The tavern’s empty, the cards remain

Evil forms whisper, echo my pain

I reached for chance, but it took me whole

And left me damned, body and soul
