Lyrics
I'm stuck in a jail where sunshine don't show
Because of a deal that I struck long ago
So each night I pray for the sweet light of day
The boss man is near and he watches me close
Oh, Warden of Shadows, each year the bell tolls
You offer me freedom, if snake eyes I roll
If others I throw, down deeper I'll go
Yeah, let's roll these old bones, man
Yeah, let's fucking go!
He comes once a year with dark eyes that dance
He whispers my failures and offers a chance
He hands me them bones and promises home
Rolling a deuce will change my circumstance
Oh, Warden of Shadows, each year the bell tolls
You offer me freedom, if snake eyes I roll
If others I throw, down deeper I'll go
Yeah, let's roll these old bones, man
Yeah, let's fucking go!
I stare at the warden, his grin is so wide
He growls"Win your freedom or go deeper inside!"
I throw the dice down and snake eyes are found!
The jailhouse, it trembles, his bloodlust denied!
And with dawn's first light, dark walls start to fade
My captor is vanquish, my debt is repaid!
Though for now I walk free, he'll be looking for me
My Warden of Shadows, his vengeance delayed!
Oh, Warden of Shadows, each year the bell tolls
You offer me freedom, if snake eyes I roll
If others I throw, down deeper I'll go
Yeah, let's roll these old bones, man
Yeah, let's fucking go!
In freedom I walk and now tread with care
Old problems remain and my debts are still there
Behind those dark walls from his prison he calls
He warms up his dice with a contract to share..
