Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
Verse 1
In the haze of a dim-lit room,
Where shadows dance in the gloom,
There's a tale of fate, a legend told,
Of a hand that's cursed, a story old.
[Percussion Break]
Chorus
The Dead Man's Hand, a deadly draw,
Two eights and aces, the devil's claw.
A gambler's folly, a twisted fate,
In the game of life, it seals your date.
[Dramatic Drums] [Cinematic Drums] [Drum Solo] [Snare Drum]
Verse 2
They say it happened in the wild frontier,
Where whiskey flowed and legends sneer.
A gunslinger bold, with a deck in hand,
Met his end in a blood-soaked land.
[Dramatic Trumpets Solo]
[Percussion Break]
Chorus
The Dead Man's Hand, a deadly draw,
Two eights and aces, the devil's claw.
A gambler's folly, a twisted fate,
In the game of life, it seals your date.
[Dramatic Piano Solo Fast-Paced]
Bridge
From the saloons to the dusty trails,
The legend spreads, the truth prevails.
A warning to those who tempt the odds,
For death's embrace, it swiftly nods.
[Dramatic Drums] [Cinematic Drums] [Drum Solo] [Snare Drum]
Verse 3
Now in the echoes of the poker halls,
Where fortunes rise and hubris falls,
The Dead Man's Hand still holds its sway,
A reminder of the price we pay.
[Instrumental Bridge x2]
[Prominent Snare Drums] [Cinematic Drums Fast-Paced]
Chorus
The Dead Man's Hand, a deadly draw,
Two eights and aces, the devil's claw.
A gambler's folly, a twisted fate,
In the game of life, it seals your date.
[Trumpets Solo x2]
Outro
So heed the tale of the Dead Man's Hand,
Where luck and fate forever stand.
For in the end, we all must see,
The cards we hold shape our destiny.
