You've been living a lie for so long you believed it was real

They fooled you with their masquerade

You take the cards to show the world

It's time for another deal!

You're the joker in the pack

Running in the shadow

And now you're coming back
F F . G .
To claim what is yours.
There are strangers around and they say they're your sisters and brothers
Though you think you recall them your mem'ries have faded to dust.
Nine princes vie in a title race
For a throne in a distant place
It seems that you may hold the ace
But still you don't know who you can trust!
You're the joker in the pack
Running in the shadow
You'd better watch your back
If you're gonna pull through
D
Now's the time to make your choice,
C
Let your brothers hear your voice,
D
Play your cards close to your chest
E
Hope your hand will stand the test
So the hero returns to find his world in confusion
And with so much at stake, you can never be sure what to do
If to power you aspire
Walk the pattern through the fire
You will find your hearts desire
There just waiting for you
You're the joker in the pack
Running in the shadow
And there's no turning back
From the path that you choose
You're the joker in the pack (you're the joker)
Running in the shadow (running in the shadow)
You better watch your back (better watch your back)
If you're gonna pull through
