Ace of Spades

I was born searching chasing my way
Lost on the road as the skies turned gray
Gave all I had for a handful of air
Blind to the warning signs I didn't care

And I broke but I never stopped
Climbing the walls of a soul I'd lost
The pain was loud but I wouldn't cry
Swallowed my screams beneath the sky

But the Ace of Spades was in my hand
Black and dark yet beautiful and grand
Life's a game it's all how you play
And I've found my light in the shadows today
Oh I've found my way

A wandering wolf with nowhere to go
Devouring hearts with the cold I'd know
Master of illusion I made them dream
A prisoner of rage caught in my scheme

And I fought but I came undone
The cracks let through the warmth of the sun
The smile returned though it took its toll
And redemption's fire burned through my soul

With the Ace of Spades held tight in my hand
Black and dark yet beautiful and grand
Life's a game it's all how you play
And I've found my strength in the scars today
Oh I've found my way

In the graveyard silence I stood alone
His words remained when his soul was gone
These cards we hold they're part of the game
Your choices are yours so own the blame
The weight of the truth brought me to my knees
But the chains were gone I was finally free
I climbed from the depths where shadows decay
And carried his words to light my way

With the Ace of Spades carved deep in my hand
Black and dark yet beautiful and grand
Life's a game it's all how you play
And I've found my heart in the wreckage today
Oh I've found my way
