[Verse 1]
The devil went down to the river
And he came to fall; to lose it all;
To fool the fool too quick to call
While the gambler's stacks grew bigger;
He had lost his sights through narrowed eyes;
Too tempted by his wry desires
[Chorus 1]
Damned across fated paths
The time to fold had come to pass
[Verse 2]
With gambler's glory delivered
He had thirst for more; a bigger score;
A trophy no one could ignore
And the devil's wealth had withered
So with cunning class he offered fast his soul;
The wager had been cast
[Chorus 2]
The gambler called, the river fell
And now the hand from out of hell
The devil smiled, looked in his eyes;
He knew the loss was glorified
[Bridge]
The devil said "Revel in your victory;
You've earned your damning, pack your things and leave."
But, the gambler only stood and stuttered
Stammering on words in disbelief
"Now you've won a new vocation
Pray to me that you can stand the heat!"
And that, the gambler saw
Meant he had gone and finally set the devil free
[Chorus 1 (reprise)]
Damned across fated paths
The hand he played would be his last
[Outro]
Who am I? Who am I?
Just a gambler, holding aces in the devil's eyes?
What is wrong? What's the sin?
Where's the answer? Where the hell do I fit in?
Or could it be, there's just a little demon lost in the debris
And I, should idly bide my time until a wager releases me?
Hey! It can't remain unknown...
Tas albumas apskritai, manau. Nors pačiam albumui duota daugiau like'ų, nei atskiroms dainoms. Aš pati taip padariau. Bet atsimenu, kažkada norėjau sugrįžti ir deramai įvertinti visas dainas, bet tas laikas taip ir neatėjo, kaip dažnai būna...
Kaip keista, visad galvojau, kad From Her to Eternity seniai viena mėgstamiausių jų dainų, ir klausyta ne kartą, bet net nebuvau palike'inus, ir dar buvo tik 2 like'ai music'e!
Dauguma dainų jų gyvai atliekamos tikrai nuskamba geriau, ar gal tiksliau, palieka įspūdį, nes atliekama su daug aistros ir ekspresijos. Rings of Saturn turbūt vienas geresnių pavyzdžių, kaip stipriai gali skirtis tas įtaigumas.
Aš pasirinkau Skeleton Tree, nes aš niekad nebuvau tos dainos fanu, bet vakar koncerte kažkaip gražiai ausiai nuskambėjo ir nustebino. Bet iš tikrųjų daug dainų skambėjo stipriau negu studijoj.
Man tiek daug dainų imponuoja iš praėjusio vakaro, kad nežinau kokią ir pasirinkti dienos dainai, tad galimai mano reakcija bus pavėluota Beje, bus galima laukti ir įrašo iš manęs, kai tik atrasiu laisvesnę minutę.
