"1000 Stars"

Now we play our final hand
Move in closer, understand
This time like never before
Only the black queen scores
A card so high and so wild
We should burn it
The luck of a thousand stars
Can't get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm
There are people I have loved
Hypnotized by lies
In defensive disguise
Some say protect and survive
I say it's over
The luck of a thousand stars
Can't get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm
Hold me through the darkest night
I feel secure in your arms
While all the city's on fire
It's not between you and me
But we are losing
The luck of a thousand stars
Can't get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Can't get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm
