Later that Night... Roger Waters

[Narrator]
Later that night
The soldier sits alone in his room in the palace, mulling over his good fortune.

[Soldier]
By! It went off just as we thought it would,
That fellow was right. So far, so good!
Just think, a woman to call me own,
After so many years of living alone!

[Narrator]
The soldier shuffles a deck of cards
And deals them out on the table,
Trying to divine what the future may bring.
While behind him, unseen, the Devil waits in the wings.

[Soldier]
Why not? Why shouldn't the luck be mine?
Ask the cards. What do they say?
Six, Ten, Queen, all of Hearts. Hearts! Trumps all the way!
It's true, why not, why shouldn't it be?
A wife of me own, and between you and me,
She's beautiful, young, the belle of the ball,
Heir to the whole bloody kingdom and all!
Ace of Hearts! There, it's got to be true.
