Hook 1:

Empty threats

Forget regrets

Now place your bets

A nervous wreck

The dice of life you roll with dread

Cash the cheques, mounting debts

Beads of sweat that fill your head

You’re left bereft

Empty threats

Forget regrets

Now place your bets

A nervous wreck

The dice of life you roll with dread

Cash the cheques, mounting debts

Beads of sweat that fill your head

You’rе left for dead

Versе 1:

Heavy is the head the wears the crown round

Lead to your death in ground your deep down

Toppled your throne the kingdom burns now

Nightmare scenes, despair in the town

The village got pillage

So sacrilegious

Save what you can or get caught in the scrimmage

You pick your side saints or the sinners

Losers or winners

Victim of the system lacks wisdom

Short cited lacking in vision

Walking around in the name of religion

Made your decision rebels have risen

The fights been fought

Father’s fraught as son’s extort

Mother’s watch on as daughter’s pause

Drop to their knees and sick to there cores

Hook:

Empty threats

Forget regrets

Now place your bets

A nervous wreck

The dice of life you roll with dread

Cash the cheques, mounting debts

Beads of sweat that fill your head

You’re left bereft

Empty threats

Forget regrets

Now place your bets

A nervous wreck

The dice of life you roll with dread

Cash the cheques, mounting debts

Beads of sweat that fill your head

You’re left for dead

Verse 2:

Blood sweat and tears

Yearning for years

Learning turning working in fear

The vermin squirming won’t shed a tear

Churning burning nothing now clear

It’s not for the faint of heart

The brave won’t park

The weak skylark

New blank canvas pigments darks

Stroke after stroke leave the same brush mark

All alone in the big bad world

Hurricanes and the whirlwind whirls

Sound of the thunder takes you under

To place that burns named hell

I see heaven in the distance

Get across with grit and persistence

No looking back I don’t need assistance

Heat burns back with no flame resistance
