Tales of Paper & Pen

Dreamless nights, dream filled days

The crimson curtain burns away

I dream of a game of space and time

Where pleasures indulge all that is sublime

Roll the die, pick your card

Don the mask and raise your guard

For when you reach the end of the world

I will be waiting at the edge of the board

Gamble your life, risk your fate

Move your piece and wait

Leave your future up to the roulette

For you are the marionette

Flip the card, fulfill what is told

A phantom wish of fortune unfolds

Dine with the Fates for pleasantries’ sake

And portion broken threads and partake

From rags to riches, time your demise

Craft your desire and give it rise

The beginning will end when the end begins

So make do no matter your sins

A game is but a stage for lies and deception

It’s been nothing else ever since its inception

Roll your fate, you have no say

Pay attention, for it seems it’s now time to play
