Risk

We sat around the table and we were eager to start
We made ourselves coffee and we dealt out these cards
Little did I know the time or the date
That this was the evening I decided our fate

My advancing armies were spread all over the map
And things were running quite smoothly when I had a mishap
Just when I thought my troops were really well stackеd
The neighboring nation decidеd to attack me

He threw a six, and a five, and a four
Smash! Went my armies on to the floor
He threw a six, and a five, and a three
That's when I lost another territory

So he takes his "free move" and his card very smugly
And that's when I knew that this game was gonna turn ugly
My reinforced troops were prepared to advance
'Cause this was my moment, my chance to fight back

He'd scattered his units, only one in Alaska
And I caught him out when I came swooping in from Kamchatka
Brilliant deception, my finest of plans
'Cause while he weren't looking, I wiped out Japan

I threw a six, and a four, and a two
With only one army he could only lose
I threw a six, and a six, and a five
None of his armies was left alive

It started with dice, all jokey and fun
But when it turned nasty, we broke out the guns
We'd lost our heads and our tempers were running wild
'Cause we'd begun to use those awful nuclear missiles

With heavier losses, our emotions did rise
It was then that I noticed only death in his eyes
I understood as we went on red alert
That this was the devil and he was destroying the earth

I threw a one, and a one, and a one
Sweating with horror, what had I done?
I threw a nil, and a nil, and a nil
And now we are delivered unto the devil
