I have sung and prayed for our redemption
And I've held up my guns and marched in revolution
But as the earth shook beneath I wondered
Where I'd lay my head back down
Oh they say 'the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money'
But you'll lay your head back down
And you'll wish she slept beside you anyway
She'll break your heart, but you'll wish she slept beside you anyway,
I have raised the white flag of surrender
Over the fields where we buried sons and lovers
As the cannons flashed and thundered
As Death came calling everybody home
Oh they say 'the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money'
But you'll lay your head back down
And you'll wish she slept beside you anyway
She'll break your heart, but you'll wish she slept beside you anyway,
And I've held up my guns and marched in revolution
But as the earth shook beneath I wondered
Where I'd lay my head back down
Oh they say 'the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money'
But you'll lay your head back down
And you'll wish she slept beside you anyway
She'll break your heart, but you'll wish she slept beside you anyway,
I have raised the white flag of surrender
Over the fields where we buried sons and lovers
As the cannons flashed and thundered
As Death came calling everybody home
Oh they say 'the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money'
But you'll lay your head back down
And you'll wish she slept beside you anyway
She'll break your heart, but you'll wish she slept beside you anyway,
