The Gamble's Price

[Verse] In a room with numbers cold Dreams of riches bright and bold Promises they couldn't hold Now we're left with stories old [Verse 2] Whispers in the hallways gray Trust betrayed in light of day Balance sheets in disarray Hope and faith just stripped away [Chorus] We played the game and lost the fight Falling shadows in the night Took a chance on blinded sight Now the future’s out of light [Verse 3] Empty desks and silent phones Echoes of those broken loans Cold regrets that chill the bones Haunted by those aching tones [Chorus] We played the game and lost the fight Falling shadows in the night Took a chance on blinded sight Now the future’s out of light [Bridge] Echoes in the empty hall Caution's voice we failed to call Crashing down from standing tall Now the writing's on the wall
