lyrics

The soldiers hands got you pressed up against the wall
And when you jump there'll be no one to catch your fall
But that's okay cause the light is on in your mind
You're not afraid cause the man up there sAid its fine

Mother superior has the arms to reach in your soul
You gave me nothing now that nothing is all I know
Saint Pelagia coming up on the silver screen
Cause any exit from this would does not go unseen

And the bad hand wins again
When there's nothing left in the end
And I promise you my friend
When this ends, that this will never happen again

Dancing around all these dark clouds in your mind
Has left you dizzy now you're running out of time
No ones a saint and there's no one left to save
Ain't it a shame when there's no point left to pray

And the bad hand wins the bet
When there's nothing left in the end
And I promise you my friend
When this ends, that this will never happen again

A dying flower still holds beauty when it's dead
I listen closely to the voices in my head
They tell me things that I really don't want to hear
But I'm not afraid because there's nothing left to fear

And the bad hand wins again
When there's nothing left in the end
And I promise you my friend
When this ends, that I'll never do this again
