[A5 - NDC Bingo] Breaking the Rules

Nordic Discord Challenge - Summer Bingo A5 Genre: Lo-Fi Indie Pop Theme: Cheating Death Lyrics: I walked into a smoky room with nothing but my name Death was waiting at the table He said, "Sit down" I said, "Deal the cards" He smiled like he already owned me I pushed every chip I had into the middle Nobody spoke The game started He showed no fear I showed no mercy One hand would decide everything I cheated Death in a game of poker I took the pot and walked away He reached for me, but I was gone I beat the house that never loses He called my name I never looked back I cheated Death in a game of poker Tonight, I'm still alive He dealt the river with a steady hand He thought the ending was already written I kept my face cold I never blinked I held one card until the last second I changed the game before he saw it He slammed the table I collected every chip He knew what I had done He couldn't prove a thing The cards were already gone I cheated Death in a game of poker I took the pot and walked away He reached for me, but I was gone I beat the house that never loses He called my name I never looked back I cheated Death in a game of poker Tonight, I'm still alive He'll find another table He'll deal another hand Maybe next time he'll win Maybe next time I'll lose But not tonight Tonight the cards were mine I cheated Death in a game of poker I broke the rules and paid no price I stared him in the eyes I took his victory away He'll be waiting when my luck runs out Until then, I'm raising the stakes I cheated Death in a game of poker And I lived to play another hand Shuffle the deck Cut the cards I'm not done yet
