    I've just got here, to Paris, from the sunny southern shore;
    I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent.
    Dame Fortune smiled upon me as she'd never done before,
    And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.
    Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.

    As I walk along the Bois de Boulogne
    With an independent air
    You can hear the girls declare
    "He must be a Millionaire."
    You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
    You can see them wink the other eye
    At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.


    I stay indoors 'til after lunch, and then my daily walk
    To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand triumphal march,
    Observed by each observer with the keenness of a hawk,
    I'm a mass of money, linen, silk and starch -
    I'm a mass of money, linen, silk and starch.

    Chorus As I walk along the Bois de Boulogne
    With an independent air
    You can hear the girls declare
    "He must be a Millionaire."
    You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
    You can see them wink the other eye
    At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo


    I patronised the tables at the Monte Carlo hell
    'Til they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew;
    So I quickly went to Paris for the charms of mad'moiselle,
    Who's the lodestone of my heart - what can I do,
    When with twenty tongues she swears that she'll be true?

    Chorus As I walk along the Bois de Boulogne
    With an independent air
    You can hear the girls declare
    "He must be a Millionaire."
    You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
    You can see them wink the other eye
    At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo


    "The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo" (old British bar song about the Monte Carlo Casino)

    My song........... Indestructible Disturbed.

    Another mission, the powers have called me away
    Another time to carry the colors again
    My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend
    To win the honor of coming back home again
    No explanation will matter after we begin
    Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
    My true vocation, and now my unfortunate friend
    You will discover a war you're unable to win

    I'll have you know
    That I've become
    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable
    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible
    Master of war

    Another reason, another cause for me to fight
    Another fuse uncovered, now for me to light
    My dedication to all that I've sworn to protect
    I carry out my orders without a regret
    My declaration, embedded deep under my skin
    A permanent reminder of how it began
    No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
    You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life

    You will be shown
    How I've become
    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable
    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible
    Master of war

    I'm
    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable
    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I am indestructible
    Indestructible

    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable
    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible
    Master of war

    The Gambler
    Kenny Rogers
    On a warm summer's evening
    On a train bound for nowhere
    I met up with the gambler
    We were both too tired to sleep
    So we took turns a-starin'
    Out the window at the darkness
    The boredom overtook us
    And he began to speak
    He said, "Son, I've made a life
    Out of readin' people's faces
    Knowin' what the cards were
    By the way they held their eyes
    So if you don't mind my sayin'
    I can see you're out of aces
    For a taste of your whiskey
    I'll give you some advice"
    So I handed him my bottle
    And he drank down my last swallow
    Then he bummed a cigarette
    And asked me for a light
    And the night got deathly quiet
    And his face lost all expression
    Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
    You gotta learn to play it right
    You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run
    You never count your money
    When you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin'
    When the dealin's done
    Every gambler knows
    That the secret to survivin'
    Is knowin' what to throw away
    And knowin' what to keep
    'Cause every hand's a winner
    And every hand's a loser
    And the best that you can hope for
    Is to die in your sleep"
    And when he'd finished speakin'
    He turned back toward the window
    Crushed out his cigarette
    Faded off to sleep
    And somewhere in the darkness
    The gambler he broke even
    But in his final words
    I found an ace that I could keep
    You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run
    You never count your money
    When you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin'
    When the dealin's done
    You've got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em)
    Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em)
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run
    You never count your money
    When you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin'
    When the dealin's done
    You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run
    You never count your money
    When you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin'
    When the dealin's done
