Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Cards with the Devil
- Pervading the room was that familiar veil of smoke
- Staking bronze and silver, fluttering embers being stoked
- Evading our sentences, of ebbing away in a croak
- Masquerading was the devil, all accoutred in his cloak
- It of course befell to me to divvy up the deck of cards,
- My heart could hear the death knell, the devil's eyes, they carried shards
- Of glass, the danger resting on the lip of that cigar
- The paper bridged, set on the oak, every man was now on guard
- A fragment of a glance, lasted no longer than a flicker
- Mr Lucifer's eyes fell on his hand, already victor
- Though a breath of smoke escaped his lips, the smashing of his liquor
- Behind the blazing of his eyes laced humid red, his tongue was bitter
- Retrospectively, I laugh, into the face of death with verve
- For irrespective of his fire, purely ignited by my nerve
- I laid the joker to his ire, his pride inviting to deter
- My soul was torn into an effigy a reaction quite incurred
- It would be wise, if I advised to any bettors, the fact
- The prize of catalysing rage, just leads to death, fast track
- Likewise, to gamble with the devil, you're only destined for the black
- Crystallise your mind, or keep your cards behind your back
