You wait in vain
for a good moment to dare, to be
Now play your cards
before you lose all
into this funny play
of lies, love and power
you must harden your soul
to win a little piece of joy
and a place to cure
the wounded pureness of your heart

See how the wheel turns
sometimes a kiss and sometimes a blow
Use all your art
to build up your weapon and fight
into this funny play
of lies, love and power
you must harden your soul
to win a little piece of joy
and a place to cure
what's still pure in your cruel heart

See how the world turns
sometimes better but mostly worse
bet on your cards
let the rage enter your heart
See the small eaten by the big
the competition among beasts
the jungle and the lamb
the play and innocence
