Probably my favorite song off the whole album.
I think the song is about a group of friends/kids (apprentice/servants) who gamble at night when their parents (Master/sorcerer) are in bed or aren't around to see what's going on. But in the third verse, it sounds like the parents get suspicious and pretend to leave their home to check on the kids.
The 'price to pay' could be a couple things. Either one of the kids bet a lot of money and lost it to one of the other kids, or the parents found out and the kids are going to 'pay' for gambling in the parents' house.
I'm probably wrong, but that's the way I see it. That's a good interpretation, dracopticon, but remember that this album's songs are usually based on gambling, hence the album name.
