Life, dismantle your life piece by piece
Winning the hand while still losing the bet
Even with an Ace up your sleeve
Rolling, snake eyes are poison to me
Gamble your life with a toss of the dice
The rush is all that I need
Stakes are high, and so am I
You bet your life on the line
No lady luck on my side
It's heads you win and tails you lose
It's heads you win in the city of sin
Life, spinning your life on the wheel
The joker is wild with a black grin he smiles
The gamble is still worth the risk
Stakes are high, and so am I
You bet your life on the line
No lady luck on my side
It's heads you win and tails you lose
Aces high, and so am I
They're watching you from the eye
I got the Aces so I double down
Where's lady luck, she ain't around
[Solo: Eric]
Life, a gambler's life haunting me
Seven eleven, I still cannot win
Snake eyes just won't me be
Stakes are high, and so am I
You bet your life on the line
No lady luck on my side
It's heads you win and tails you lose
Aces high, and so am I
They're watching you from the eye
I got the Aces so I double down
Where's lady luck, she ain't around
It's heads you win in the city of sin

What did Testament say about "Black Jack"?
Chuck Billy:
I wrote that song four times, four different melodies and four different sets of lyrics. Eventually we found the right sound. It’s about gambling with your life, using a poker reference to say that everything that you do in life is a gamble. That you have got to take risks.
