I held her hand, she smiled so sweet

Then turned to dust beneath my feet

Every promise, every vow

Is just a scar that burns me now

She whispered gold into my ear

But left me hollow, drowned in fear

The brighter shines her fleeting grace

The deeper shadows claim my face

Fortune’s betrayal - kiss of pain

Fortune’s betrayal - loss and gain

I played her game, I paid the cost

In every win, another lost

Now luck’s embrace becomes a chain

A golden mask that hides the pain

She whispered gold into my ear

But left me hollow, drowned in fear

The brighter shines her fleeting grace

The deeper shadows claim my face

Fortune’s betrayal - kiss of pain

Fortune’s betrayal - loss and gain

She whispered gold into my ear

But left me hollow, drowned in fear

The brighter shines her fleeting grace

The deeper shadows claim my face

Fortune’s betrayal - carved in me

Fortune’s betrayal - my destiny
