E                   G5 G5 F#5
Blackened out eyes

E                     G5 G5 F#5
Scratched on the wall

E                        D     A
Stoned outlooks from the crowd

E                      G5 G5 F#5
The king will not know

E                       G5 G5 F#5
On the wall, it was said

E                          D            A
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red
