The Angel and the Gambler - Iron Maiden

Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel

Out of your hands now, so how do you feel

But you’re not gonna win, you’d better go back again

Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared

Take what luck brings and be devil may care

But you’re down on your luck and what will the next day bring

Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream

Or lost in a maze, or blind in the haze

So what does it matter, so why don’t you answer

So why did you send an angel to mend

Best make decisions before it’s too late

Take all your chances take hold of the reins

A roll of the dice, ahead of the game again

Nothing to lose but so much to gain

A little danger, it goes without saying

But what do you care, you’re gonna go in the end

Gate open to heaven is ready and waiting

Or straight down to hell, can go there as well

I’ll suffer my craving, my soul’s not worth saving

So why don’t you go, just leave well alone

Don’t you think I’m the saviour

Don’t you think I could save you

Don’t you think I could save your life

(5:35-Solo: Dave Murray)

(5:59-Solo: Janick Gers)

There’s like a hunger that knocks on your door

You’ve had a taste of it, still you want more

You’ve made your mistakes, won’t play it the same again

You have been warned but still you plunge in You play high stakes but there’s nothing to win

You’ve only one life and so many things to learn

The Angel on one side, the Devil the other
