(Intro - Fast, driving synth + taiko drums) Joker's wild, the deck is stacked One wrong move and you can't take it back King of spades, but I play alone Watch me turn your throne to stone (Verse 1) Rogue in the shadows, red on black Ain't nobody seen a hand like that Cards in my fingers, fire in my veins Every single shuffle leaves a trail of flames I was born in the gutter, raised by the street Learned to smile with a heart that bleeds They see a thief with a silver tongue But they don't hear the songs that remain unsung (Pre-Chorus) Karma's a dealer with a crooked smile Dealt me pain for a little while But I took that hand and I played it cool 'Cause a gambler never breaks the rule (Chorus - Big, soaring, anime-ready) Light it up, let the embers fly I'm a shooting star in a blood-red sky They call me trouble, they call me sin But I'll burn bright till the end begins Royal flush running through my soul Never folded, I lost control One last bet, one last game Even kings bow to the flame (Verse 2) Eyes like diamonds, heart like steel You don't know the weight of what I feel Every ace I draw is a prayer I said For the voices of the ghosts inside my head I fight for the ones who can't fight back With a smirk and a coat of glossy black They want a villain, I'll play the part But I'll save the world with a broken heart (Pre-Chorus) Fate's a liar with a golden tooth Promised heaven but sold me proof That the only truth is the burn inside So I let my whole damn kingdom ride (Chorus - More intense, with gang vocals) Light it up, let the embers fly I'm a shooting star in a blood-red sky They call me trouble, they call me sin But I'll burn bright till the end begins Royal flush running through my soul Never folded, I lost control One last bet, one last game Even kings bow to the flame (Bridge - Melodic, emotional breakdown) Remy ain't no hero, that's a lie Just a boy who learned to survive But if you're standing in the crossfire I'll throw my cards into the fire For you... For you... (Final Chorus - Epic key change, full orchestra + electric guitar) LIGHT IT UP! Let the embers FLY! I'm a shooting star in a blood-red SKY! They call me trouble, they call me SIN! But I'll burn BRIGHT till the end BEGINS! Royal flush running through my SOUL! Never folded, I lost CONTROL! One last bet, ONE LAST GAME! EVEN KINGS BOW TO THE FLAME! (Outro - Sudden silence, then a single whispered line) ...C'est la vie, mon ami. (Sound of a card flipping and fading into static)
