Lead vocal--Chris Rainbow



There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains

On a wheel in perpetual motion

Who belong to all races and answer all names

With no show of an outward emotion



And they think it will make their lives easier

But the doorway before them is barred

And the game never ends when your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

No the game never ends when your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card
