So here we are waking
Savages shaking
The road that we're taking
We've walked before

And if these times
Should seal our fate
You won't see me
At Heavens gate

Danger is lurking
Evil is working
Yet here we are hiding
Behind our doors

Come out come out
It's time to grow
Enjoy the ride
One more time before you go

According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
What else can you do
When life is unstable

The night's growing colder
The enemy bolder
But as you grow older
You cease to care

But if we run
Or try to hide
And turn our faces
We'll have no hopes
To keep alive

According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
Reactions cool
The world is unstable
According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
What can you do
When life is unstable

So here we are waking
Savages shaking
Here we are hiding
Danger is lurking

    My Interpretation

    It's about a sense of urgency and danger, with the idea of savagery and danger lurking just beneath the surface. The lyrics suggest that the world is unstable and that the narrator is aware of the risks and dangers they face, but they still encourage taking risks and living life to the fullest. The idea of walking a road that has been walked before gives a sense of familiarity, but the potential for danger is still present.

    "If these times should seal our fate" gives a fatalistic outlook, indicating that the future is uncertain and potentially dire.

    The repeated refrain "according to Hoyle, all cards on the table" is about following the rules or established norms, but also about being transparent and honest about your intentions and actions.

    The lyrics also touch on the idea of growing older and becoming less concerned with risks and danger, which gives a sense of resignation to the risks that life presents. However, the lyrics encourage living life to the fullest and enjoying the ride, even in the face of danger and uncertainty.
