...Discards of Cards
The darkness of night shakes me so
Four or five other stars
Flash and start to fall
The storm begins
Millions of tears one person can cry
A long forgotten battle
As this darkness shakes me
It swears my name
In the pale Jack of Spades
Grinning at my fear
Courage
Is fleeting
Pack of Hearts dying today
Afford sad stories
As the diamonds fall
The joker holding me down
With the darkness that shakes me
A solider from
A lost army
From a place
Of light
From hand to hand
The last battalion
With me
I fight
Give me a miracle
As I fight the king of clubs
I'd come with music
To tame the beasts
I'd come with your right shoulder
To lean upon
Is this war?
Or the
...Discards of cards
This is my way to my way to me
