Bitter

Little Star, my precious diamond, what's it gonna be?
Will you choose the flaming arrow or the broken wing?
Victim, hero, angry villain, pick a part to play
What will guide your steps
Trickery or Pain?

One will choose an absent member
Two will set your course
Three will tear your world apart
Four prepares the fall
Five will get you further down
Six prepares the hook
Seven hangs you up
Eight will feed your hate

Is your story written in stone?
Is it destiny?
Is your heart that sets the tone
Or it's meant to be?

Thirty-one cards, Thirty-one steps, choices blaze in flames
What will light your path?
Tenderness or hate?
Precious friend, my flaming old boy, isn't it yet clear?
Dust & bones are all that's left, when we'll disappear
Feelings, pictures, lovers and friends, echoes of the past
Will just make you sad and sink you deeper, cause life is bitter

Nothing is meant to last forever, everything will fade
Cards resemble choices and regrets along your way
Don't despair, and all the pieces, will fall into place
If your heart is kind, you will save the day

So long, for now

"Goodnight old boy"
