Rising to Heaven - The Queen Of Spades Lyrics

A girl is walking down the street
She clearly resembles a three of hearts
The lines of the seven of clubs
Represented in all works of arts
Spider on the wall
Like an ace of spades

I remember her empty eyes
Stared at me and the life left it
I took a load that was not my size
I dug myself a pit

A ghost appeared in the night
She told me the secret I wanted
I never lose in the cards
I was obsessed and daunted

Three, seven and ace
One bet in one day
I looked into her face
But wasn't prepared to pay

Three, Seven, Ace

Two days, two bets, two wins
Picking an ace, waiting for my fate.
But the table smiles at me
The Queen
The Queen of Spades

Now I'm locked up in the asylum
My thoughts are clear
Three, seven, ace
Three, seven, queen

Now even I don't understand
What I mean
Three, seven, ace
Three, seven, queen

Within the white walls I see
A third win
Three, seven, ace
Three, seven, queen

Tree of life is bare
And will never be green
Three, seven, queen
