Strike a match, set forbidden fire
Snow is falling in a different land
Call temptation, lust, desire
Turn now to the task at hand

Poor are rich, a beggar chooses
Had the life, tossed it away
It's a drag if a winner loses
Bite the bullet, playin' to pay

Winning hands, being checked, mate
Call the dice, for blinded eyes
Can the sun now cool the irate
See no evil, speak no lies

Far, far back, there is a dark past
Many things are sight unseen
This hidden power, forever driving
No, it never was a dream

That hidden power forever driving is obvious in this one my friend.  They just keep getting better!!

Well said lostboy. I loved the "bite the bullet, playin to pay" line. I agree, they just keep getting better.
