1. Spy Vs. Spy

Nothing ever changes
Traps that aim to foil
Ease into your leisure
Blood begins to boil

Eyes in every corner
Spy the bombs you lay
Fortune weighs empty
Explodes now every day

Cracks in the mirror
Sevens in a row
Luck needs no comfort
If chaos steals the show

He who is clever
Builds toys electrified
Others lie waiting
Conscience, no guide

Ask me the reason
Trust me, I lied
Poisoned by the venom
And daily, I've died


2. The Rook

I used to be just like you
I'd sit here everyday
Mock suicide, your wounded pride
Kept getting in the way

You know that I can't tell you
You know I'd never lie
Your enemies are ill at ease
The moon is in their sky
Alright

Can anybody tell me
The difference right or wrong
Put games aside the second time
This joker's played too long

Don't say I didn't warn you
Don't say I wasn't fair
With open eyes, to your surprise
You'll find I wasn't there

And you say you could never read me
That cards never play in my eyes
But the pieces are moving, the game's an illusion
And the hand you've been dealt is mine

And you say you could never read me
That cards never play in my eyes
But the pieces are moving, the game's an illusion
And the hand you've been dealt is mine

Destiny's answer to everyone else
Seems empty as far as you've gone
Expect the surprises, don't ever ask why
You're facing this world on your own

Promises broken and promises made
The sooner you know, you can try
The best you can hope for is knowing someday
All winners and losers must die


3. Hangman

Take your memories, the things you've seen
Close your eyes and watch it like a dream
Green with envy and colored with lies
The universe inside you slowly dies

See the difference
Between you and me
I'm not the only one
Dancing with demons who die in the setting sun

Trusting in yesterday, the first time by
Leave your heart and be the last to try
Promising everything and dying to live
The lesson's learned and still you can't forgive

See the difference
Between you and me
I'm not the only one
Dancing with demons who die in the setting sun

Tempted by fortune, what comes and goes
Open your eyes, I fear the curtain's closed
Turning the pages and trying to find
The words that tell you what you left behind

See the difference
Between you and me
I'm not the only one
Dancing with demons who die in the setting sun


4. Standing At The Edge Of The World

Alright, heard somebody say
The secret to living is looking away
Nothing, nothing's ever real
The pieces you keep are the moments you steal

Come on, ask yourself why
The system is broken, it's useless to try
Too late, my child in time
You can't change the future by living a lie

Why am I a pawn in a game I can't master
Why am I alone in a world made just for me

Loving the silence, tired and alone
Slave to the darkness you call your home
Trusting in no one, tears in disguise
Dreams of tomorrow reflect in your eyes

Visions of yesterday, fate only knows
The truth's never far from the cards that you show
They tell you one thing, you tell them how
There's no place in hell like the place you are now

Don't let me stand at the edge of the world
It's too late for me
The sooner or later, it always arrives
Why does it have to be

Don't let me stay, isn't time at the end
Far from me and you
The silence is broke, love always survives
There's nothing left to do


5. Revenge Of The Viper Three

It's just a picture of what might have been
But now it's everything you see
Just leave it hanging on the wall that way
It lets you live it all again

Feel it coming
Chances are
The silver blade will leave a scar
See it running
Down the spine
The day you said revenge is mine

Still can't remember where it all began
Those who were five, now only three
Forget the shadows and the memories there
It's just a place where things went wrong

Feel it coming
Chances are
The silver blade will leave a scar
See it running
Down the spine
The day you said revenge is mine

Wasted anger turned inside
The pain is all you see
Eyes are closing, darker now
It's all you'll ever be

Now every day is one you hope to see
What's in the past, forever gone
You'll know the faces in the shadows fear
The ones who live to see them fall

Feel it coming
Chances are
The silver blade will leave a scar
See it running
Down the spine
The day you said revenge is mine
