i. the turn of a friendly card (part 1) (lead vocal - chris rainbow)
there are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains and a wheel in perpetual motion and they follow the races and pay out the gains with no show of outward emotion
and they think it will make their lives easier for god knows up till now it's been hard but 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
there's a sign in the desert that lies to the west where you can't tell the night from the sunrise and not all's the king's horse and all the king's men have prevented the fall of the unwise
for they think it will make their lives easier and god knows it's been hard but 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
but a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine as he enters inside the cathedral...
ii. snake eyes (lead vocal - chris rainbow)
snake eyes seven eleven don't let me down boys gimme snake eyes seven eleven don't let me down tonight no don't let me down tonight

iii. the ace of swords (instrumental)
iv. nothing left to lose (lead vocal - eric woolfson)
nothing's good the news is bad the heat goes on and it drives you mad scornful thoughts that fly your way you should turn away cause there's nothing more to say
you gave the best you had to give you only had one life to live you fought so hard you were a slave after all you gave there was nothing left to save
you've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose) no you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)
nothing ventured nothing gained no more lingering doubt remained nothing sacred or profane everything to gain cause you've nothing left
v. the turn of a friendly card (part 2) (lead vocal - chris rainbow)
there are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains on a wheel of perpetual motion who belong to all races and answer all names with no show of 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
