Dealers of Divinity

In this life it's a game of live or be outlived
A contest of cast or you will be cast upon
And in this house you must deal or prepare to be dealt against
By the dealers of divinity

Thousands of eyes in the sky watch you so closely
They watch to make damn well sure that you're never living cozily
They know exactly what to do to keep you, and maintain their edge
Until you make your final march ascending and stand upon that ledge...

Will I jump or stand my ground?
Will I fight until the end?
The hands in control will always push me down
Knowing I never stood a chance

And it won't stop
Until I'm taken for all that I've got
You know I never had a fair shot
Even when the cards were dealt from the top

In this life you know the house will always win
My life and my world are the house and it knows just how to draw me in
So pull up a seat to the table and lay your heavy chips upon that felt
The Dealers of Divinity will control the hand you're dealt

'A Turn of the Cards'

These blind Dealers of Divinity are the only who can truly see
Six hands and one eye make up this foretelling trinity
Dealing card after card like each strand of a web,
yes they're weaving my fate
All while constructing masterfully the things I think I need but will
grow to hate

It's time to jump or stand my ground
This time I'll fight until the end
I know the hands in control will try to push me down
Thinking I never stood a chance

You know it won't stop
Until I'm taken for all that I've got
You know I never had a fair shot, even when the cards were dealt
from the top

In this life you know the house will always win
My life and my world are the house and it knows just how to draw me in
So pull up a seat to the table and lay your heavy chips upon that felt
The Dealers of Divinity will control the hand you're dealt

'The Wager'

"Man does not deal the hand of life, he is merely a card dealt within it.
Whatever he bets on the hand, He bets on himself."
