The rooms smells dumb and death Everybody catch their breath Suspense and deathly hush You're ready to try your luck Don't go beyond the bounds of reason It's a matter of life and death It's time to pass a resolution You've already come close to death Nearer... To death Money, bets and wagers It won't have two winners Games and depravity Russian roulette's still in be You're prepared to take part in this game You do it to earn your living It's a long time you've got a bad name Now it's your turn and you're sweating Nearer... To death Life is more precioius than cash You shouldn't brave the power of death One day you'll be kill outright 'Cause the bullet'll be aimed at you A gun shot'll break the silence And there'll be a smell of gun powder Blood'll spurt out from your head And your body'll lie on the ground
