The Alchemist let me in
Mixed his potions and powder
When the explosions got louder
The lesson could now begin:
“What I have made are these –
Fifty-two cards of your destiny-
From all the elements in the galaxy,
And you get all of this for free!”
“This is the hand you’re dealt (For just this round)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”
“This is the hand you’re dealt:
Full of magic and perilous
Take a risk, make a game of it
This is the way of wealth
These are the cards we play
Made from Chaos itself imploded
As if all of the dice are loaded
That’s all I’m allowed to say.”
“These are the cards we play (Each one is wild)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”
Every thing you’ve got – Right where you are
Is all you need…
Spreading the red and black
Heaven looks over your shoulder
So, when the wind blows colder
Remember Who has your back !
“This is the hand you’re dealt (For just this round)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”
Infinitely intriguing.
