Let the chips fall as they may,
vows of silence,
now, then, shutters,
I can play, play, play,
Let these thoughts fall away,
and I will always be
the Gambler,
Alone, cheating
the decks, the dice,
I will play, play, play,
let the chips fall as they may.
As the Gambler
I am free,
free from ruin, rushing,
endless suffering,
I can make a vow
to myself,
this will be the last game,
the last throw,
I can honour that vow
in cold morning light,
but in the night,
in the night
my vows, they fade,
always assuming the worst
nonetheless.
