Debt drags down on weary chest
Cards collapse; Cass cannot rest
Coins he counts with steady hand
Bets he makes beyond command

Now he bets his borrowed coin
Dice will dance while hopes will join
Table's tense, the players wait
Cass can't stop; he tempts his fate

Luck deserts him; fortune falls
Silence settles in the halls
Left to linger in regret
Bound and broken, drowned in debt
