a story that’s bigger than us here
A beginning it holds
An end is in sight
You hold your cards close to your chest
The hand you have been dealt
The way you play each one
A trick of life or death
You mask your fear
You hide your bluff
Your eyes are calm
Your hands are steady
The heart beats constant
To win is the goal
Each contestant at this table
Has a tick to tock
Their beats are noble
As noble as yours
But will they take you
The surprise you dread
The play that determines it all
The dealer watches silently
He cannot intervene
He watches each play
Behind his power of the cards
Each card he deals
Becomes your fate
Or becomes your break
No matter the risk
You come back for more
The adrenaline draws you
The mystery grasps you
Each opponent your envy
And your stepping stone
You give your worth
You bet it all
You play it cool
You feel the cards at risk
What have you to lose?
What have you to win?
No one knows
No one can tell
These cards you hold
You master their weight
Each curve you feel
They are your moment
For the Gamble is lifes toll
And the game is what you make it to be.
To walk away unscarred
To breathe a moment won
Or a minute lost
Each outcome a mistake
The play of Kings.
The game of nations.
A game no less.
Time is what you have
Every minute that passes by
Your next move is at hand
How will you play?
