Two Can Play Your Game

Hit me once,
I'll burn you twice.
To the ground, off you go,
hug your prize.
Oh, it's dirt?
Now you see,
two can play
the game of thee.

Hurt me once,
on your knees, peasant.
Your chances are running
out of my slick hands.
Cry me a river?
No, cry me a sand.
Crawl back to me
you soldier of Satan!

Break my trust once,
here's a clap, good actor.
Take back your petty efforts,
you don't deserve my candor.
I've burned bridges?
Yes, I did!
Walk through the fire,
weep and beg.

Took my only heart,
it's all yours, pauper.
Here's my love,
take it all, ogre.
What's left for me?
Man, I have your soul,
I locked it in prison,
pray for its parole.

Shot me thrice,
this is a roulette.
I'm still alive,
where is your bullet?
Hand over your gun,
I'll pull the trigger.
Hush now, player,
your game is over.
