LYRICS:

The mansion was right on the shore

Down by the lake

Nobody had lived here before

But the Devil himself

Thirteen invitations

Sent out through the night

Thirteen invitations

They would all arrive in time

Solo: Shermann

They gathered around the mansion

Thirteen in all

They had the same intention

Never to fall

Thirteen invitations

Sent out through the night

Thirteen invitations

Promising eternal life

So you want to be alive forevermore

I will turn the wheel of time

None of you will ever have to die

I will turn the wheel of time

Turning the wheel

Turning the wheel of time

But first we must play a game

The game of souls

Sit down! Don't move around!

Deal those cards!

They played all night 'till the morning

light

And the Devil, he smiled on his own

They played all night for eternal life

Or the chance of losing their souls

High will win, low is the sin

They played all night in the burning

light

The thirteen were sharing a nine

High will win, low is the sin

The final card was in the Devil's hand

The King of Diamonds would win

Solo: Denner

Solo: Shermann

They could never leave the mansion

Forever inside

They had lost their souls of creation

But they were alive

Thirteen invitations

Sent out through the night

Thirteen invitations

And the mansion was mine
