When this house of cards fall
Who'll be holding the ball
Responsible for your trials
That you've faced in denial

When this house of cards fall
Will you gamble your life
All the heartache and strife
It all comes with a price

When this house of cards fall
Will you rise up or lay
Sell your soul for the pay
For the thrill of the chase

When this house of cards fall
Will you know how to adjust
Or will you fall prey to lust
And become the player that busts

When this house of cards fall
Do you know how to advance
Stand up and be a man
And go execute your plan

Because when my house of cards fall
I'll weather the storm
Protect my soul from any harm
And retire where it's warm

Knowing that I never cheated
Nor gamble when I was defeated
I hid away a grievance
So this new life I'd achieve it.

I played my cards right.
