Here's what I hear:

Well, you can fight it, but you know That you won’t get your way in the end
 Too many people, the king and all of his men


And if you’re dealing a line of cards
 Won't you take me to the queen of hearts?


And if you’re trying To tear down what you see
 Pack up the stars Before you come for me


And if you're dealing a line of fate 
Who's going to tell her the reason I'm late? 
 You took her soul, so incomplete 
Why don't you stop fighting me?
 You’re in control, so why should you be
... Fighting me? Fighting me? Fighting me?

How to be sure That what you say is the truth 
When I see flaws In everything that you do?


And if I'm passing a sentence on you
 I would give you the crown for a fool


And now you've lost There’s nothing left to defend 
You came so close To the king and all of his men


And if you’re dealing in a trick of the light 
I need to see her face for one last time

You took her soul, so incomplete
 Why don’t you stop fighting me?
 You’re in control, so why should you be
... Fighting me? Fighting me? Fighting me?

Lyric Correction

I agree with this, I definitely hear "pack up the stars" not back off. If you watch the video, its pretty clear thats what hes saing at that point too. This sounds really accurate.

Lyric Correction

This is what I hear as well. It makes a lot more sense than the original lyrics posted.
