Verse 1 They think I’m here for carnival dreams, A dollar a card, a whisper, a scheme. But I read the veins that run through time, And smile while fate rewrites the line. Pre-Chorus They come for wonder, not for warning, They leave believing I was performing. Chorus The fortune never lies, it hums beneath the skin, You can beg the cards for mercy, but they’ll name your sin. I keep the secrets no one dares to prize— The truth’s not mine to tell, and the fortune never lies. ⸻ Verse 2 They call me mystic, saint, or fraud, A show for saints and sinners’ applause. But I feel the tremor before the fall, And I don’t stop the stars at all. Pre-Chorus 2 Every skeptic tastes belief, Right before the turn of grief. Chorus The fortune never lies, it hums beneath the skin, You can beg the cards for mercy, but they’ll name your sin. I keep the secrets no one dares to prize— The truth’s not mine to tell, and the fortune never lies. ⸻ Bridge I’ve seen the end inside the flame, The lovers lost, the crowned, the shamed. But knowledge burns, and I’m not cruel— So I let them dance, and play the fool. ⸻ Final Chorus / Outro The fortune never lies—it only waits. For silence, touch, or small mistakes. They think they read me by my eyes— But love, the fortune never lies ⸻ Outro I’ve seen the crown, the fall, the flame, The faces change, the truth’s the same. I speak in riddles, hush, disguise— You’ll know in time… the fortune never lies… It never lies.
