House of Cards

1. Strophe:

My life is built like
A house of cards
instable relations
card on card!
The risk of destruction,
chagrin and pain,
The risk of hate is
flowing through my vein!

And If you drag out,
one of these cards,
you can hit me,
deep in my heart.
The house of cards – then,
is breaking down,
and I stand in front of
ruins of my own!

Refrain:

The house of cards – my fucking life
I starve for humanity – and die!

The house of cards – which was my life
is lying down – I wish I’d die!   

Oh when the house of cards which is my life
would be blown away so I could die

But the house of cards is anchored in stone
so I have to live – to live alone!

2. Strophe:
Let us play with
my deck of cards
it is a special version
just black hearts!
There is no cross,
there is no spade,
there is no red - just
black hearts which fade!

I’m not the king in
my deck of cards, I’m
just the jack without
a fucking valentine!
I have no queen,
I have no ace,
I have no chance to win this game  
called life I play with too much pace

Break:

I want to blow it away!

The house of cards!

3. Strophe:

My life was built like
A house of cards
instable relations
card on card!
The risk of destruction,
chagrin and pain,
The risk of hate was
flowing through my vein!

And then you drug out,
one of these cards,
so you hit me,
deep in my heart.
The house of cards – then,
was breaking down,
and I run away from
ruins of my own!

Refrain:

The house of cards – my fucking life
I starve for humanity – and die!

The house of cards – which was my life
is lying down – I wish I’d die!   

Oh when the house of cards which is my life
would be blown away so I could die

But the house of cards is anchored in stone
so I have to live – to live alone!
