A roll of the die
A flip of the cards
You may cast your lots
And try to cast your wards
 
Allow yourself a little luck
Leaving you left with a lot to lack
Try to chance, to change the odds
Trying your fate to attack
 
Was it pure chance
Or acquired skill
Maybe a leap of faith
Makes your heart go still
 
Thirteen cards
Some Black some Red
But don't bet your life
Or you'll soon be dead
