The mansion was right on the shore
Down by the lake
Nobody had lived here before
But the devil himselfThirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
They would all arrive in timeThey gathered around the mansion
Thirteen in all
They had the same intention
Never to fallThirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
Promising eternal lifeSo you want to be alive, forevermore
I will turn the wheel of time
None of you will ever have to die
I will turn the wheel of time
Turning the wheel, turning the wheel of timeBut first we must play a game
The game of souls
Sit down, don't move around
Deal those cardsThey played all night till the morning light
And the devil, he smiled on his own
They played all night for eternal life
Or the chance of losing their soulsHigh will win, low is the sinThey played all night in the burning light
The thirteen were sharing a nineHigh will win, low is the sinThe final card was in the devil's hand
The king of diamonds would winThey could never leave the mansion
Forever inside
They had lost their souls of creation
But they were aliveThirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
And the mansion was mine
