Lyrics Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden

The Angel & The Gambler

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

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 a savior

Don't you think I could save you

Don't you think I could save your life

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 Gambler the other

Which path do you take

Decisions to make

Arrive at the crossroads

You know where you're going

And what if you wait

It may be too late
