Throw The Dice (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by Gervaise Rousseau, Empress of Gallilee and Bohemia) Opportunity don't knock twice Maybe leave you out as cold as ice Action speaks louder than words Good as gone Good as gone If you're never heard Ever since that beginning breath A baby takes with such innocence With never a clue to what's coming next It's all up In the air Might as well Take a guess Could be good, could be bad But you won't know until you roll Might be the worst thing you ever had But you won't know until you roll Or way beyond your wildest dreams You won't know, not until you throw Or maybe you'll come up even and clean Just don't know until you roll A child is taught to believe The cream will rise and honest effort will succeed But how can anyone explain The way these fools Get so far So far up in the game At first glance it might seem unfair That you must serve those so undeserving there But don't put faith in your fate being sealed That Equalizer The Great God Chance Is leveling The playing field So throw down cares, and throw down woes Your number's up, so Roll! Throw down your money on the nose Step right up and roll You're alive, you've got to try And it's your turn, so throw If it all goes wrong, well that's all right That's how we learn, let's roll All things depart from he who waits Take my advice, never never hesitate It's better to strike while the iron's hot Throw those bones Throw those bones With everything You have got So put your marker on the spot Just let go, let's roll The going's good, you're getting hot So shake Œem up and roll You're guaranteed to win or lose But you won't know, not until you roll You've got to play to get to choose And now it's time, it's time to throw Here's the moment to wipe out your debts So Hey! Carpe Diem and lay down your bets In the blink of an eye, the chance has gone past The river is crossed and the die has been cast Even now it could be much too late So much unknown, in the hands of fate But we must take our courage in both of our hands What does it matter? We'll never understand! Nothing ventured, nothing gained So cut the crap, and roll Who knows? It all might be pre-ordained That you should throw, so roll One thing's for sure, if you don't try Try your best to roll Your life is gonna roll on by So face the music and roll Pick 'em up, don't be afraid Take a chance and throw The Goddess Fortune must be obeyed Get on your knees and roll Nothing makes much sense at all So dive on in and roll The luck of the cards is in how they fall And you won't know, not until you roll So put your marker on the spot Just let go, let's roll The going's good, you're getting hot So shake Œem up and roll You're guaranteed to win or lose But you won't know, not until you roll You've got to play to get to choose And now it's time, it's time to throw Let's roll them dice, roll them dice Throw them dice, let's roll Let's roll....Let's Roll!
