Step into the dim-lit room of mystery, where a young man faces the cards, and fate whispers its somber truth:
Verse 1
Smoke curled high as the candle burned low,
The old woman whispered, "Sit down, don’t go."
She spread the deck with a trembling hand,
Said, "Your future’s long, but you won’t understand."
Chorus
Shadows in the cards, oh, they don’t lie,
A road of sorrow till the day you die.
Every step forward, you’ll lose the cost,
A life stretched long but covered in loss.
Verse 2
The Devil card smiled, the Tower did fall,
The Moon cast doubt through it all.
Her eyes went dark when she flipped the Sun,
Said, "Your brightest days will soon come undone."
Chorus
Shadows in the cards, oh, they don’t lie,
A road of sorrow till the day you die.
Every step forward, you’ll lose the cost,
A life stretched long but covered in loss.
Bridge
The fool’s path winds where the black crows sing,
Every joy you find wears a broken ring.
You’ll live through years, but they’ll weigh like chains,
For every smile will be tied to pain.
Verse 3
She closed the deck with a weary sigh,
Said, "There’s no escape, no matter how you try."
He walked away with the weight of her words,
The echoes of fate, like those cursed cards.
Outro
So if you seek what tomorrow brings,
Beware the truth, it can cut and sting.
Some paths are better left unknown,
Where shadows walk, you’ll walk alone.
How’s that for an eerie blues tale? Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into the story or start sketching out the chilling soundtrack! 🎶🔮
