Who are you curious myst'ry card
Looking left of me
Please would you explain the difference
You were made to be

Though I run this game of cards
You play on your own
The flower queens and one-eyed jacks
Will never match your throne

Sitting soundless in the deck
Waiting in the box
The rules of any game I choose
Your deadly difference mocks

A special difference is in your eyes
With a sword drawn to your head
The blankness has a certain glow
As the silver blade stains red

You could've ruled your kingdom
Held daggers, swords, and darts
You'd had your queen of diamonds
Oh precious king of hearts

The death that's shown a battle
The church bells what shall ring
And remember from the card
The worthy suicide king

Daggers swords and knives alike
Lining on the shelves
None can match the certain one
Which you've plunged through yourself

Make no mistake
You are still here
You're played from the pile
My deadliest dear

Small playing card
You've not spoken your pain
And so now we keep you
In our simple games.
