Steel on wood, a spinning gleam
Laughs cut thin through smoke and steam
Blade strikes true between the grain
Close enough to taste the pain
Coin laid down with steady hand
Wagers made you understand
Every throw is more than aim
Every smile conceals the game
Closer now — don't look away
Luck is something I don't play
Step too far into my flame
You'll learn the rules of the dagger game
Throw it high, let it fall
Hear it whisper to the wall
One more inch and blood will stain
Welcome to the dagger game
Spin it once, stake your name
No one leaves the same
When the steel decides your fate
It's already too late
Lantern light in narrowed eyes
Truth is just another disguise
Fingers drum on splintered oak
Every breath a silent stroke
You can boast or you can pray
Either way you're going to play
When the blade begins to sing
You'll feel the tightening ring
Closer now — don't look away
Luck is something I don't play
Step too far into my flame
You'll learn the rules of the dagger game
Throw it high, let it fall
Hear it whisper to the wall
One more inch and blood will stain
Welcome to the dagger game
Spin it once, stake your name
No one leaves the same
When the steel decides your fate
It's already too late
Hear the steel hum in the grain
Feel the rush beneath the vein
One wrong word, one wrong breath
Is all it takes to wager death
Throw it high, let it fall
Hear it whisper to the wall
Step inside and stake your claim
Welcome to the dagger game
