Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Is what it is inside the king's court, actin’ like a fool to get the upper hand
Was everything from an advisor to a wizard and I even joined the royal band
I got the poison in my right boot pocket waiting for an opportunity
One day I found his royal highness sigh in silence and he turned around and looked at me
"So now you..."
"I see everything, I see- I see everything..."
"...see?"
"We don't need luck, we don't need luck, luck’s-"
"So now you..."
Try not to panic automatically, I juggle for the king as I had done before
He interrupted, said "I know your game, I've been observing you since days of yore"
"So now you..."
"You'll see everything, I see- I see everything..."
"So happy to..."
"We don't need luck, we don't need luck, luck's-"
"How did he know..."
I held my smile and grabbed the vial, but he grabbed my arm, suddenly time stood still
Out in the chaos, found a way outside his grip and pulled the vial out so I could kill
The king collapsed, and with his last breath said, "I bear you no ill will"
"You'll see everything, I see- I see everything...
We don't need luck, we don’t need luck, luck’s-"
"You'll see everything, I see- I see everything...
We don’t need luck, we don't need luck, luck's-"
"How did he know...."
